This recipe has proved to be very popular at my Thai cooking classes. I usually purchase some of these pickles from the Asian supermarket near me, but given how much of it we go through, Gina (my amazing assistant) made her own for use in the class and this is the very easy and excellent recipe. This pickle is completely perfect in the Curried Chicken and Coconut Soup (or whatever it’s called) from the Thai class menu. If you haven’t been to the Thai class due to your location, fear not...we have a plan to fix that problem...we are so excited about it, but you will just need a little more patience. In the meantime, make sure you register on this site (top right hand corner) and then you will never miss any news. Ever. Again...no spamming, promise.
In the meantime...get the soup sorted and enjoy!

More
This type of pickle is readily available at most Asian stores, usually in shreds as opposed to chopped. However, they are easy to make yourself, and keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
Daikon looks like a large white carrot, and has a very distinctive odour that is easily recognisable and similar to sauerkraut.
