This Korean pickled radish is crunchy, tangy, and a little sweet. It can be served as a side dish, and it's best with Korean Fried Chicken!

Ingredients
1/2 lb Korean radish (or Daikon radish)
1.5 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp white vinegar
1/3 cup water
Steps
Peel the Korean radish
Cut into discs that are between 1/2 inch to 1 inch depending on your preference. I usually cut them about 3/4 of an inch thick.
Cut the discs into cubes
Combine sugar, salt, white vinegar, and water until dissolved then add the radish and shake or mix until fully submerged in the pickling liquid.
Store in the refrigerator for 1 day before eating. This will stay good in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Leslie on 2025-03-28 (5 stars): I had been looking for a simple recipe that didn't mask the wonderful flavor or the radish. This is it perfect. I have used it 2 times now and just lets say I don't know if it will keep for 2 weeks because my husband and I eat this within 7 days of making it. I spent 18 months in Korea in the 70's when I was in the service and this is the flavor I remember having as one of the side dishes served with meals. Thanks so much. I know I will be trying more of your dishes. Thanks for bring the flavors of Korea to us

I was trying to make these pickles for a family meal at work. I enjoyed your rapport with the camera and your content, so I decided to follow. Def not a mistake. I’m a Mexican in love w Korean food so I love your fusions and representations of both. Cheers Stella, I hope you continue to grow.
