How to make dried radish delicious and crispy

Dried radish is a favorite pickle for many people, but it is not easy to make delicious dried radish. Many people make dried radish that is both delicious and crispy, but some people make dried radish that tastes woody or dry, which is not delicious at all. What are the tips? How to make dried radish delicious and crispy? Today, I will teach you a few tricks.

1. Choose good quality radish

If you want the dried radish to be delicious and crispy, you must choose good quality radish, preferably the green-skinned radish with a crispy taste, because ordinary white radish tastes a bit astringent, and it will not taste that crispy after being dried. In addition, the radish you choose must be sufficiently moist. After buying it home, wash it with clean water, cut it in half, and then split the half in the middle, divide it into several small portions, and then put it on the balcony to dry.

2. Weather selection

If you want to dry out delicious radishes, the choice of weather is also very important. If the weather is good, the dried radish can be placed on the balcony and can be dried in about three days, and can be 80-90% dry. If it encounters rainy weather, the dried radish must be put away in time. It cannot be allowed to get damp and cannot be exposed to bacteria. Also, the dried radish cannot be dried completely. 80% dry should be just right.

3. Add salt and knead evenly

After the dried radish is dried, you should wash the loose soil on its surface with clean water, then remove the water, put it in a clean basin, add an appropriate amount of table salt, and rub the dried radish vigorously with your hands to allow it to be in full contact with the salt as much as possible. The dried radish kneaded in this way will have a crisp and tender taste after being pickled.

4. Add rice wine and marinate

After the dried radish is dried, red pepper, garlic and five-spice powder need to be added when pickling. In addition, an appropriate amount of rice wine must be added during pickling, so that the pickled radish will taste crisp. The dried radish will have a light wine aroma after being pickled with rice wine. Rice wine also has a certain preservative and bactericidal effect, which can effectively extend the shelf life of the dried radish and prevent it from deteriorating.
