- Water (enough to cover onions)

- 2.5ml minced garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thinly slice 1 medium red onion (about 200g) into slivers. Place the sliced onions in a bowl with 1 ice cube and 1 teaspoon of vinegar, and let them soak for 10 minutes. This step helps to mellow the onion’s sharpness and enhance its crispness. After 10 minutes, drain them thoroughly in a colander.
Step 2
Julienne 200g of daikon radish to match the length of the onion slivers. In a separate bowl, toss the julienned radish with 2.5ml of salt. Mix well and let it sit; we will use the moisture released by the radish. This salting process helps to draw out excess water and makes the radish crispier.
Step 3
Combine the drained red onion slivers and the salted daikon radish in a larger bowl. Add 2.5ml of minced garlic, 5ml of sugar, 15ml of vinegar, and a pinch of dried parsley. Gently mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Finally, sprinkle a little dried parsley over the mixture and give it one last gentle toss. Your delicious pickled onions and radish are now ready!
Step 5
Transfer the pickled mixture to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. This versatile condiment is perfect for enhancing dishes like cold noodles, grilled meats, fresh salads, and various seasoned vegetable preparations. It’s also a wonderful side dish for rice.
Step 6
Here’s a vibrant tomato and wellness salad I created using this pickle as a star ingredient. I generously topped fresh tomatoes with the pickled onion and radish mixture, then added cheese, almonds, walnuts, and blueberries for a beautifully decorated and sophisticated salad. Doesn’t it look inviting?
