Ingredients

  • 1-1/3 lb (600g) Korean radish or daikon
  • 2 oz (60g) beet
  • 1-1/2 cup (360ml) water
  • 2/3 cup (130g) sugar
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) white vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel the radish and cut it into sticks measuring about 1.5x0.5 inches (4x1 cm). Peel and slice the beet into slightly smaller pieces, then add both to a glass jar.
  2. Combine water, sugar, and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Lower the heat, add vinegar, and simmer for 1 minute.
  3. Pour the hot brine over the radish and beet in the jar. Let it cool for 1 hour, then close the lid and refrigerate for 24 hours. The pink color will become more vibrant as it sits.
  4. Note: Pink pickled radish keeps well in the fridge, making it a handy side dish. Store it in an airtight container, and it will last up to 2 weeks. While it may lose some crunch over time, the flavor remains delicious. For the best taste and texture, enjoy it within the first week.
