Overnight Chinese Daikon Radish Pickles recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

Once again, my CSA Box contained a vegetable I hadn’t seen before. As I seem to be saying every week, I am really enjoying playing with all of this new produce.

My kids think it is exciting to try new foods each week and I’m enjoying the challenge, as I find new uses for it all. I have to say that we all really enjoyed the flavor of the daikon radishes raw and as a bonus, they were really pretty too.

My husband especially enjoyed these. He compared them to a lot of the foods he enjoyed while living in Korea many years ago.

Overnight Chinese Daikon Radish Pickles

5 from 1 vote
Recipe slightly adapted from and with thanks to Allrecipes.com

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups peeled and sliced daikon about 1/4" thick
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • ¼ - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, sprinkle the salt over the radish slices and toss to combine. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This will help the radishes soften and release some liquid.
  • Drain the water from the bowl and rinse the daikon well. Pat them dry with a towel and then return to the bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients and toss well to combine and coat all the slices. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Enjoy!

    Looks great! My mom likes to use Daikon in braised meat dishes… I guess like milder, less starchy carrots. In fact, Daikon in Chinese is literally "White Carrots"…

    I don't believe I've ever had a pickled radish, perhaps because I'm not a big radish eater, but Bev is. If I can find the seeds around here, I'll grown some of these and give pickling a try for her.

    I think it's great that your kids get so excited about trying new foods. I definitely did not have that when I was younger!! Love this idea – I bet they tasted so good!

    SO funny! I happened upon your site because I got daikon radishes in MY Chow Locally box this week – almost 2 years to the day after you posted this. Love in-season veggies 🙂

    Thank you for this recipe! I loved it so much that I make a lot so I could share with friends! I decided not to rinse the daikon after sprinkling with salt. I just reduced the amount of salt and mixed the rest of the ingredients. I also don’t wait until the next day to eat. It’s good to eat right away especially with baked fish! Again, thank you for sharing this recipe!5 stars
