Method

  1. 1 Slice the white radish and carrots into long, even strips.
  2. 2 Toss the vegetables with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes to drain the water, then squeeze them dry.
  3. 3 Prepare the pickling liquid: mix vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt, stirring until completely dissolved.
  4. 4 Mix the vegetables with the pickling liquid and shredded orange peel.
  5. 5 Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse; the longer it marinates, the milder the taste will be.
