Radish Salad
by Su-Mei Yu
Serves four to six.
Yields about 2-1/2 cups.
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. cayenne
3 Tbs. red-wine vinegar
2 Tbs. soy sauce
1 tsp. sesame oil
2 cups halved radishes, lightly crushed with the flat side of a chef’s knife
In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar, cayenne, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir to combine. Add the radishes; toss lightly. Cover and let sit for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. (Don’t make the salad any more than an hour ahead or the red radish skins will start to get blotchy and fade.)
