Daikon Recipes
Yvonne Said:
Can regular red radishes be pickled?We Answered:
Yes, you can use the same recipe as for daikon. If the radishes are small, though, and you want to pickle them whole, it might be a good idea to score them with a knife or pare a strip of peel off so the marinade can soak in.Daikon recipes?We Answered:
You can cook it and mash it like potatoes, shred it and make cole slaw, or slice and dip in your favorite salad dressing.Jennifer Said:

Sweet Pickled Daikon Radish
Ingredients
* 1 cup rice vinegar
* 1 cup water
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
* 1 pound daikon radish
* 1/4 cup kosher salt
Directions
In a small saucepan over medium heat add the vinegar, water, sugar, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
Meanwhile, peel the daikon radish and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. (If your daikon is very large, slice the rounds into semicircles.) Place in a colander with salt and mix well. Place the colander over a bowl and let drain for 1 hour. Rinse the salt off with a couple of changes of water and dry the daikon well. Put into a sterilized glass jar. Pour the cooled brine through a coffee filter (or a cheesecloth lined strainer) into the jar to cover the radish slices. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Will keep for about 2 weeks.
