Instructions

Prepare all ingredients for preparing pickled daikon.
Fully clean your radish. Using a vegetable slicer, clean the outer skin and remove any impurities. Using a sharp knife, first cut radish into approximately half an inch thick slices. Once you have sliced, cut again into long stripes, again half-inch thick. Those stripes are cut into cubes again half an inch.
Prepare your liquid. It is super easy to make. In a jar, mix water with vinegar and add sweetener and salt. Mix everything thoroughly using a whisk until all is dissolved and the liquid becomes clear again.
Using either mason jars or airtight glass containers, fill those with daikon cubes to approximately 3/4. Pour the liquid into each jar to fully cover the cubes.
Gently move all the jars onto a kitchen counter. Let sit for approximately an hour for all to set and start the pickling process. Later on, fully close and place the jars to refrigerate. Let it marinate for two to three days to get the best flavor.

Notes

Daikon alternative - you can use any root vegetable from the radish family, such as Korean Hu or European radish.
Sweetener - it is best to use powdered sweetener as it dissolves in the water faster.
Vinegar - use pure white vinegar to get the beautiful clear white pickled jar.
Peppery - if you prefer a more Asian cooking style, add a bit of chili pepper.
Double the recipe - as most of the daikons are pretty big, you can double the recipe and use one pound of cubed veggies which is 4 cups.
Nutrition - almost 0 for everything except minimal six calories per bowl.
