Instructions

- Cut 1 piece kombu (dried kelp) into small strips.
- Cut ½ dried red chili pepper into half and remove seeds. Keep the seeds if you like it spicy.
- In a resealable plastic bag, add the turnip slices and leaves, kombu, red chili pepper, 1 tsp yuzu zest, ½–1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and optional 1 Tbsp yuzu juice (extract). Mix and rub well with your hands from the outside of the bag.
- Remove the air and seal the bag. Keep in the refrigerator for at least an hour, preferably 3–4 hours, or even overnight.
- To serve, squeeze the vegetables with both hands to remove the pickling solution. Enjoy!
