yudu daikon....quick pickles










Posted by Picasa

In winter, we eat ' daikon' often.

This is Yuzu daikon pickles.

Yuzu is a kind of orange of special flavour. We use  that like lemon.

Cut  the daikon like that photo,  put in salt and suger and vinegar, and yuzu zest,  konbu and push for several hours.

There are convenient thing which can make pickles easily.
This time I didn't use this, but I often use this  to make pickles.
