Quick sizzle
Spicy radish stir-fry
For all those who like a little spice in their food, this spicy radish stir-fry is just perfect. Slice radishes in thin rounds and saute them along with some garlic, ginger, and chili flakes in olive oil. Add soy sauce for an added depth of flavor and garnish with some chopped green onions before serving hot with steamed rice.
Tangy treat
Pickled radish delight
Pickling brings out the natural flavor of radishes while making them tangy. Slice radishes thin and soak them in a vinegar, sugar, salt, and water mix for at least an hour or overnight if you can. These pickled beauties make a great sandwich side or topping for tacos.
Oven crisped
