Pickled Daikon (Sanbaizuke style)

• 3 Daikon, chopped crosswise
• 1/4 cup Salt
• 1/2 cup Shoyu
• 1/2 cup Sugar (more if desired)
• 1/4 cup Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Ginger Root, chopped fine
• 1 Chili Pepper (optional)

Sprinkle salt over daikon. Soak overnight. Wash and drain. Combine shoyu, sugar, vinegar, ginger and chili pepper in a sauce pan and boil for 3 minutes. Add daikon and bring to a fast boil. Cook 1 minute. Pack daikon and sauce in jars and store in refrigerator.

Note: Daikon can be soaked in salt for few hours instead of overnight. If soaked overnight, wash off salt well otherwise pickle will be salty.
