Pickled radish

Cookinero 1 Apr 2025

Radish is usually used to prepare light salads and appetizers, but white radish, also called daikon, can be used to make a full-fledged pickled appetizer. Homemade Korean radish is infused in a jar for 4 days, after which it can be stored for a whole month and enjoy the spicy taste. Pickled radish is especially good served with boiled potatoes.

How to cook Pickled radish

Marinate the radish. Cut the radish into quarters or rings so that the pieces fit into the jar. Then prepare the marinade. Mix hot water (1 cup), salt, sugar and turmeric. Pour in the remaining water, wait until the turmeric dissolves.

Pickled radish - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! White or apple cider vinegar works well, but avoid balsamic or flavored vinegars as they can overpower the radish.
Properly stored in an airtight jar, they stay crisp for 2-3 weeks. Discard if they smell off or appear moldy.
Swap sugar with erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (same amount), but avoid stevia as it can add bitterness.
Absolutely! Mustard seeds, peppercorns, or garlic cloves add great flavor. Start with 1 tsp per jar.
They’re great on tacos, salads, or banh mi sandwiches, or as a tangy side with grilled meats.
Cutting ensures even pickling. Whole radishes take longer and may stay crunchy in the center.
Yes! Boil the jar and lid for 10 minutes to prevent bacterial growth and extend shelf life.
Thinner slices (1/4-inch) pickle faster—ready in 2 days. Warm marinade also helps (but don’t boil).
