Recipe
Japanese Turnip Pickle Momofuku
Ingredients
- 500g turnips, peeled and sliced paper thin
- 2 pieces (5 x 10cm) kombu (seaweed)
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons salt
Instructions
- Place the turnips and kombu in a large jar, leaving at least 2cm of room at the top of the jar.
- To make the brine: Combine the vinegar, sugar, water, and salt in a small saucepan, whisk to dissolve the sugar and salt, and bring to a rapid simmer. Immediately pour the brine over the turnips, making sure to cover them completely but leaving 1cm of room at the top of the jar. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Cover the jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake the jar to evenly distribute the brine, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 day and preferably 1 week before using.
