How to make pickled radishes

Ingredients needed:

- 2 large white radishes

- 500g white sugar

- 300g refined salt

- 200g light soy sauce

- 100g vinegar

- Onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers.

Wash the radishes, peel them, cut them into stick-shaped pieces, and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with 200g of salt and 200g of sugar, mix well, and marinate for half an hour to drain off the excess water. At this step, many people only add salt, but this will make the dish too salty and slightly pungent. Combining white sugar and fine salt in a 1:1 ratio will make the pickled radishes taste better.

Prepare the pickling liquid: Mix 300g white sugar, 100g fine salt, 200g light soy sauce with 100g vinegar, stir well, then put it in a pot and bring to a boil. Let it cool naturally. This is an important step because if it is not boiled, the spices will contain impurities and bacteria, which can easily cause the pickled radishes to spoil.

Chop the onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers finely, then add them to the sauce.

After soaking, the radishes will release water. Drain the water and arrange the radishes in a clean glass jar. Add an appropriate amount of pickling liquid and stir well. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for 1-2 days before eating.
