  • Place them into a big bowl. Season with salt. Mix them up and let them rest for 30 minutes. (The salt will make the daikon and carrots release a lot of juice; our pickle will be really crunchy.)

  • Dump out the juice. Rinse daikon and carrots with tap water for a few times until no more salty taste. Then place them into a colander and toss to remove as much excess water as possible.
