Want to know how to make quick pickled radish that will go with everything? Well, you might not want to eat it with everything, but I am a sucker for pickles and love to put them in everything! They can completely transform a mediocre meal into something out of this world! Am I exaggerating? Maybe, but give the recipe below a try because it is super quick and delicious!

Checked box symbol Salad (add a bit of crunchy pickle to a Quinoa and Feta Cheese Salad to offset the creaminess)

Checked box symbol As a Side dish or on the charcuterie board

Checked box symbol Rice (hot), or roll it up with some sushi rice

Checked box symbol Tacos

Checked box symbol Curry

Checked box symbol Straight from the jar!

The list is endless!


Let’s get started!

You can use the following brine recipe for pickling most types of vegetables. For every 450g (or a pound of veg) give or take use the following amount of brine.

Boiling brine for pickled radish
Store it in the refrigerator and it will keep for about a month. If there is any strong weird smell, froth or fermentation, then better to throw it away. If there is “some” smell when you open the container, don’t panic, this is also perfectly normal, because daikons come from the cabbage-mustard family which are known for its strong-smelling sulphur compounds. The smell is more noticeable if you have kept the skin on, but grating, chopping and pickling it in acid (vinegar) can increase the smell as well. So don’t worry too much if there is a smell, you just don’t want the smell to knock you out like something’s rotting. Also, if you’re making kimchi, then fermentation is ok, but for now, let’s keep kimchi making for another day. Note: When dishing out the pickle, use clean and dry utensils. Do not put the utensil in your mouth and then back into the container as this will lead to cross contamination and spoil the food more easily.

Give this quick and delicious recipe a go and add a crunchy punch to your meal! Are you a pickle fan like me or just can’t stand the sour, face scrunching, tongue tickling sensation in your mouth? Even my 2-year-old #JasperBean has apparently inherited my taste buds because he loves nothing more than just digging into a jar of pickled yumminess.

My mom used to always make this for Japanese New Year! Thanks for the recipe 😛 I was never a fan of daikon as a kid, especially pickled, but I’ve come to like the dish as I’ve gotten older. I’m glad your son is enjoying it 🙂

Hi Nita, I do like pickle and I like the sound of this recipe. Nice and simple. Could other veg be added to the brine too?

Thank you for linking up with the #MMBC.

    Definitely! I’ve done other versions with cucumber, beetroot, ginger, onions, beans… really anything you like! I prefer vegetables that are crunchy as they pickle very nicely, but you can even pickle tomatoes! The choice is yours and you can tailor it accordingly with herbs and spices.



Let me know what you think!
