Ingredients

  • 1-2 bunch radishes any color
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce I use San-J
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced, grated, or pressed
  • 1 teaspoon chili crisp oil (or 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes) optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds any color or a mix
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves rough chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey your favorite

Instructions

  • Smash the radishes with the side of a large knife until cracked but still together.
  • Sprinkle radishes with kosher salt and let sit 15 minutes.
  • Drain off any liquid.
  • In a medium/large-sized bowl, combine gf soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, chili oil (if using), sesame seeds, cilantro and honey.
  • Add radishes to the mixture and toss together, making sure the radishes get fully coated.
  • Let radishes sit for a minimum of one-hour refrigerated. Then begin snacking!

Notes

It's important to use the freshest radishes possible for this recipe to get the best crunch. Look for smallish bulbs that feel hard to the touch and have bright smooth skin.  If the leafy green tops are still attached, they should look crisp and deep green rather than yellow or wilted.
