Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds daikon radish peeled
  •  spring onion cut into 2-in. lengths, then into long slivers
  • 0.3 cup kosher salt 
  • 1.5 qts napa cabbage thinly sliced
  • cups cabbage red thinly sliced
  •  serrano chiles cut into wide slices
  • tablespoons sesame oil toasted
  • tablespoons sesame seed toasted
  • cup sugar 
  • cup vinegar white

Equipment

  • bowl

Directions

  1. Cut daikon lengthwise into 1/2-in. slices, then stack and cut into 1/2-in. cubes. Toss with salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Let stand about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, to draw out moisture. Rinse daikon well and drain. In bowl, stir sugar with vinegar until dissolved, then stir in daikon, oil, and chiles. Chill, covered, at least 4 hours and as long as 1 week.
  3. Drain daikon, reserving pickling liquid, and discard chiles. In a large bowl, toss together napa cabbage, onions, sesame seeds, and daikon.
  4. Add 1/2 cup pickling liquid (or more if you like) and toss to coat.
  5. Mix in red cabbage with a quick toss so its color doesn't bleed.
