Pickled Radishes

Pickled radishes will keep very well in the refrigerator for months, and go well with grilled meats, especially those with a sweet glaze or sauce. Substitute cherry bell (the round red ones), watermelon or French breakfast radishes, but be advised that upon opening pickled radishes, they can put off a strong odor. This doesn't affect their flavor, though. This recipe goes well with Duck Yakitori.


Ingredients

  • 1 medium Daikon radish, sliced thinly
