ingredients
- 1 lb daikon radish (white korean radish)
- 1⁄2 tablespoon red pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)

directions
- Peel the radish and cut into really thin strips. I use a Japanese mandolin with a medium shred blade for this.
- Place the radish in a medium bowl and mix with the red pepper powder.
- Add the sugar, salt, green onion and garlic, stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the radish mixture with the vinegar and mix well.
- Let sit for a few minutes, taste, and adjust if needed, sometimes more vinegar or sugar is needed. It often depends on the sweetness of the radish itself.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I made this to go with a stirfry and it is fab!!!! I LOVE kimchee and it reminded me a lot of it. I added more vinegar and used ceyenne pepper for the red pepper. I think I used more garlic than called for as my cloves were small so I used about 5 but I figure you can never add too much garlic :) I had left overs and it's even better after it sits a while. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
