How to make dried radish

1. Choose radishes

To make delicious dried radish, the most important thing is to choose the radish. Choosing delicious radish is the soul of dried radish. You should choose radish with sufficient moisture, sweetness and crispness. In Chongqing, we usually choose red radish. Red radish can be eaten as fruit after peeling. It is full of moisture and very crisp. Whether it is pickled dried radish or pickled vegetables, we always choose red radish.

2. Cut into strips and dry in the sun

After you bring the radish home, you only need to simply wash the skin. After drying, you need to wash it carefully. When cutting radish, we usually don't cut it directly into strips, but leave a little bit uncut, so that the radish is easier to dry and pickle, and you can pickle more when eating.

The cut radish needs to be dried in the sun. Since there is no sunlight in winter, we usually put the radish in a well-ventilated place. Don't let the radish get wet in the rain. The dried radish will get moldy after being wet in the rain. If it gets moldy, it can't be eaten, which is a waste. So the most convenient way is to put it directly on the balcony to dry. It's best to string it up with a thread and make it into strips.
