How to Make Pickled Radish Rolls with Bell Peppers
Today, I’m sharing a delightful recipe for pickled radish rolls that’s made without smoked duck, using only vibrant bell peppers and fresh vegetables. These rolls are not only visually appealing with their array of colors but also wonderfully refreshing and crisp, perfect for when you want something light and flavorful. Enjoy this healthy and delicious treat that’s sure to brighten your mealtime!
Main Ingredients- 1 pack pickled radish sheets (approx. 20-25 sheets)
- 1 bell pepper each of various colors (red, yellow, orange, etc.)
- 1/2 bunch chives (approx. 50g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the bell peppers you’ll be using. To ensure they are perfectly clean, you can sprinkle a little baking soda on them and gently scrub with a soft brush or your hands, then rinse under running water. This helps remove any residual dirt or impurities.
Step 2
Prepare all your ingredients for the recipe. Slice the bell peppers lengthwise into strips that will fit nicely within the pickled radish sheets. Trim the ends of the chives. Briefly blanch the chives in boiling water with a pinch of salt for about 10-20 seconds – be careful not to overcook them, as they should remain crisp. Immediately rinse the blanched chives in cold water and gently squeeze out excess moisture. This step helps the chives maintain their vibrant green color and crisp texture, making them easier to tie and preventing them from unraveling.
Step 3
Now, let’s start assembling the pickled radish rolls! Lay one sheet of pickled radish on a clean plate or cutting board. If the sheets are sticking together, gently separate them. If they seem a bit dry, lightly moisten them with water to prevent tearing. Arrange the julienned bell peppers attractively on top of the pickled radish sheet. Layering different colored bell peppers will make the rolls visually stunning.
Step 4
Carefully roll the pickled radish sheet with the bell peppers. Start from one end and roll it up tightly, ensuring the end of the radish sheet overlaps slightly to secure the roll. Aim for an even and consistent roll without pressing too hard, which could cause the radish sheet to tear.
Step 5
To keep the rolls from unraveling, we’ll use the prepared chives to tie them securely. Take a strand or two of the blanched, squeezed-dry chives and wrap them around the middle of the rolled pickled radish. Tie a knot to fasten the roll firmly. If you don’t have chives, lightly blanched scallion greens can also be used.
Step 6
Voila! Your beautiful and refreshing pickled radish rolls are complete, featuring a colorful medley of bell peppers. The delightful combination of the tangy pickled radish, the crisp bell peppers, and the fragrant chives creates a harmonious flavor profile that’s perfect for a light meal or as a vibrant side dish. For an extra kick, try serving them with a side of soy-vinegar dipping sauce or chili sauce!
