Ingredients

  • ½ cup rice wine vinegar or your favorite vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 cups radishes thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Add the vinegar, sugar and red pepper flakes to a jar.  Stir or whisk until the sugar has dissolved. 
  • Put radishes in jar.  If they aren't completely covered by the liquid, add more vinegar on top until they are covered. 
  • Put a lid on them and store in the fridge.  They are ready in as little as 2 hours. 

Notes

Some possible variations:
Ginger - finely chopped ginger (about 2 teaspoons) - especially nice for garnishing Asian dishes. 
Dill - (about 1 teaspoon) - a classic
Red Pepper Flakes - 1 teaspoon - adds some spiciness. 
Herbs - try your favorites - mint, basil, oregano.  
Note:  these will keep in the fridge for 3-4 months, though they are best when eaten within the first month.
