Introduction

Step 1
Peel the daikon, cut it in half, then cut it lengthwise, and slice into 5mm half-moons.
Step 2
Place the daikon in a bowl, add the sugar and salt, and massage well until incorporated.
Step 3
Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the daikon and let it sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
Step 4
Squeeze the moisture out of the daikon firmly with your hands and place it into a resealable storage bag.
Step 5
Place the vinegar in a heat-resistant container and microwave (600W) for 20 seconds without a lid to let the sharp acidity escape.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Heating the vinegar in the microwave slightly mellows its sharp, biting acidity for a smoother flavor.
⚠️ Squeeze the daikon as firmly as possible so the seasonings aren't diluted and can penetrate deeply.
⏱️ If you feel it isn't pickled enough, adjust the refrigeration time until it reaches your preferred level of flavor.
