Pickled Radish

Be the first to review!
Pickled radish is a bright, crunchy, sweet-tangy side dish made with Korean daikon radish, apple cider vinegar, cane sugar, salt, and turmeric for that beautiful golden color. It’s simple to prepare, needs just a quick stovetop brine, and tastes best after chilling overnight. Serve it with rice bowls, Korean-style meals, grilled dishes, sandwiches, or anything that needs a fresh little bite.

Notes

For extra crunch, keep the radish pieces a little thicker. The flavor gets better after a day or two in the fridge, making it a great make-ahead side dish.
