Soy-Marinated Daikon

Radishes in the dehydrator

Soy-Marinated Daikon

Tien Hung’s Kendall garden grows lots of produce year-round. “I love using winter radishes like daikon, watermelon and green loubo radishes for this but any varieties will do,” says Tien. This is her mother’s recipe. See more of her recipes at nourishingpursuit.com

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large daikons, washed, peeled and cut into batons
  • Salt
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Peppers, optional 
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Massage 1-2 tablespoons salt into cut daikon for an hour or so. Then rinse, drain and squeeze to remove excess water. Sun dry, or place radishes in a dehydrator until radishes are half in size and are still pliable. Allow to cool to room temperature if using dehydrator.
    Prepare marinade: In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, sugar, pepper and garlic and heat until all sugar crystals are dissolved. Set aside to cool. Transfer radishes to a clean and sterilized container. Pour in marinade. Make sure everything is submerged and press to remove air bubbles. Seal and refrigerate before serving, ideally a couple days for daikon to really soak up all the flavors.
