Made sumpthin' yummy

So, I decided I wanted to use up a bag of radishes I bought a couple days ago because they looked so good.

I like radishes in a variety of ways, but one way I want to try them is this French thing -- radishes and herbed butter on a toasted baguette.

But I didn't do that tonight.

I made pickled radish/onion/carrot salad. So easy and delicious. Just slice everything very thinly, about an equal amount of each, and marinate in seasoned rice wine vinegar with sugar added to taste. Some people might like it sweeter, but I try not to use much sugar, so I just added about 2 teaspoonsful with about a quarter cup of vinegar. Toss in a pinch of dried red chili peppers if you want a little extra spice. You could add julienne of red pepper, too, and/or some paper-thin slices of fresh ginger. You could even add some cold shrimp or crab meat and snow-pea pods if you want to make it a meal.

It's yummy with a soy-ginger marinated chicken breast, would go good with Asian cold noodle salad, or as a side with sushi or sashimi.
