Hey, Fiosh here and welcome to my channel. So glad you stopped by.

Today, I'll be sharing with you my recipe for an elegant pickle - thin daikon, turnip and ginger match stick pickles. I'm also incorporating a chunky spicy variation but the star of the show is the clean, palate-cleansing daikon.

The ingredients:

200g vinegar (light coloured but most will do)
200g sugar
200ml water 
3g salt
one medium daikon
palm-sized piece of ginger
two medium turnips
any spices, botanica or herbs you wish

*TIP*
Choose turnips that feel heavy, if they feel light they'll be fibrous and won't offer a crunch. Also, skin that looks smooth and bright.

If the brine doesn't cover the veg, add a touch of water. If you're far off - continue with equal parts water and vinegar until you can cover the veg. 

Turnips are from the brassica family so they will have a smell at first (you won't taste it), but they will settle down. Ready to eat within a few hours but best left for two weeks. Store in a cool place, ideally in the fridge and away from sunlight.

These pickles are so versatile and quick to whip up! They go well with Asian flavours such as rice dishes, noodles or sushi; also with cured meats to cut through fat, a sandwich, topped on soups or on tacos. They'll offer an 'oomph' to any dish.

I'd hope you enjoy this video and the process of this recipe.
