Quick-Pickled Sweet And Sour Radishes
serves 4-6 as a side dish
Recipe from cookthink
This recipe is adapted from Kylie Kwong's Simple Chinese Cooking. We toned down the soy sauce and traded out some of the sugar for vinegar because we love this dish as a condiment alongside rich, salty meat dishes.
