Basically, this appetizer is prepared like Korean carrots, but instead of carrots, daikon is used. Pickled Korean daikon is more tender and juicier, and does not have the sweet taste typical of carrots. Instead of vinegar in such recipes, I prefer to take lemon juice, it is not as sharp, but I add it a little more than vinegar.

It turns out pretty good, by the way, if you make a radical change to the recipe and instead of garlic put 100% asafoetida (about a third of a teaspoon). This way it turns out no less piquant, but not as aggressively as with garlic, although garlic in such recipes is the basis of the taste.

Ингредиенты

Daikon - 600 g

Seasoning for Korean carrots - 1 tbsp

Salt - 1 tsp

Sugar - 1 tsp

Lemon juice - 2-3 tbsp

Garlic - 3-4 cloves

Ground black pepper - 1 pinch

Рецепт

1. So, the daikon needs to be washed, peeled and grated on a grater for Korean carrots. Choose a smooth daikon, without nicks and preferably not very large. Large radishes often have a loose core, which is difficult to grate.

2. Add salt, sugar, seasoning for Korean carrots and peeled, finely grated garlic.

3. Heat vegetable oil with turmeric and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Pour the fragrant hot oil over the garlic. Add lemon juice.

4. Mix the almost ready marinated Korean daikon thoroughly so that it is evenly colored yellow from the turmeric. Taste it - you may need to add salt, sugar, lemon juice.

5. Leave the Korean daikon to marinate for several hours in the refrigerator. You can periodically stir it so that the process is even. It is better to serve pickled daikon chilled.
