Instructions
Step 1
Start by washing the radish and fresh herbs thoroughly.
Trim the ends of the radish, then gently hit them with a kitchen mallet to slightly bruise them. This process enhances the flavor when marinating.
Step 2
Transfer the bruised radish into a jar. Add finely chopped herbs and minced garlic on top.
Next, add the salt, sugar, vinegar, vegetable oil, and water to the jar.
Step 3
Give the mixture a good stir to ensure everything is well combined.
Now, allow the radish to marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 to 50 minutes. This will enrich the flavors beautifully.
