Ingredients

• 1 lb daikon radish
• 1 dried red chili pepper
• 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sake (optional)
• 1 Tbsp kosher/sea salt 
• ⅓ cup sugar

Optional: garnish with scallions when serving.

Instructions

• Peel daikon and cut into ¼ inch (6 mm) slices.
• Cut the chili peppers into small pieces and discard the seeds if you prefer less spicy.
• Put all the ingredients in a resealable silicone bag and rub well.
