  6. 6

    Squeeze the moisture from the daikon and place in a jar, then add the sweet vinegar mixture and yuzu peel strips.

    Toss occasionally to ensure the pickling liquid spreads evenly throughout.

  8. 8

    Transfer to a ziplock bag or container for convenient storage that takes up less space.

    It can be eaten after about 1 hour, but the flavor deepens and becomes even more delicious after several hours.

Tips

The pickling liquid may seem like a small amount at first, but don't worry—moisture will release from the daikon as it sits.
