Recipe

Wash 700g of radish thoroughly, then slice thinly using a mandoline.
Cut the sliced radish into long, bite-sized pieces and place in an airtight container.
In a pot, combine 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup vinegar, and half a spoon of flower salt. Stir well and bring to a boil.
As soon as the syrup begins to bubble, turn off the heat immediately.
Evenly sprinkle 2 spoons and a half of red pepper powder over the radish in the container.
Pour the freshly boiled hot syrup directly over the radish.
Once the syrup has completely cooled, seal the container and refrigerate for about 6 hours to mature.

Slice radish thinly with a mandoline, cut into long pieces, and place in a container.
Mix water, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a pot and bring to a gentle boil to make the syrup.
Sprinkle red pepper powder over the radish, pour the hot syrup on top, cool, then refrigerate for maturation.

Cooking tips

The syrup must be poured while still hot to maintain the radish’s crisp texture.
If using double the amount of vinegar, reduce the quantity proportionally due to increased acidity.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the seasoning to penetrate fully, resulting in a flavorful pickle.
