Fresh Daikon Pickles

---

A friend gave me this recipe and it's great. from the time she was a toddler, my daughter has loved to snack on this, the spicier the better. adjust the ingredients to your taste, making it sweeter, spicier, or more sour. i know the sodium content in this will be astronomical, but remember that you don't consume all the soy sauce and that this is used as a condiment. prep and cooking time does not include drying the daikon or allowing the pickles to sit overnight.
