Pickled Daikon Radish, Carrot and Cucumber

Pickled Daikon Radish, Carrot and CucumberMaking pickled vegetables at home is a must-do summer activity for my family. Every summer, I’d helped my mom make a variety of delicious pickled dishes together. This Pickled Daikon Radish, Carrot and Cucumber is the first pickle recipe I learned from my mom. Now I am sharing it with you.

This recipe is perfect for people that are new to pickling vegetables at home. It tastes great and incredibly simple to make.

How to make pickled daikon, carrot and cucumberAnyone can make this dish in just three steps:

1. Rub the vegetables with salt,  set aside for 30 minutes and drain. Salt will help draw out the water from the vegetable and give them a base flavor.

2. Rinse under running water, drain well; add sugar, rice vinegar, peppercorns, pepper flakes and garlic slices, stir to mix well.

3. Transfer everything to a clean jar, seal and store in the refrigerator. Wait for at least 24 hours before opening. For a stronger flavor, try to wait at least 48 hours.
