Transfer to a glass jar or crock, packing and shaking to remove as much air as possible from the container. Cover and let rest at room temperature for a few days until bubbles begin to form on top, then refrigerate.

Comments


Made a quarter batch (but with 1 Tbsp. minced ginger and about the same of garlic). Not nearly enough juice was released from the daikon to form a brine, so I added enough water to almost cover it (in a 1 qt. jar). After about a week the smell mellowed and the aroma/flavor of lactic acid fermentation really started to come through. Refrigerated after 9 days. Radish stayed very crisp, and wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. I would prefer the radish slightly smaller in the future. Good flavor of ginger peaking through.
