Ingredients

    Directions

    Step1

    Dissolve salt in water then stir in the soy sauce

    Step2

    Cut the carrot and radish into matchstick-width pieces, a food processor will make this easier

    Step3

    Toss together carrots, radish, ginger, leek, garlic and chilli

    Step4

    Pack into a sterilised jar

    Step5

    Pour in brine and press down vegetables with a spoon to squeeze out air — the vegetables need to be completely covered in brine — it can assist the fermenting process to stuff a wad of vegetables that aren’t cut finely such as a cabbage leaf on top, to ensure all fine vegetables are covered in brine

    Step6

    Lightly seal lid and allow to ferment at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours on a plate that will catch the overflow

    Step7

    When actively fermenting, by seeing bubbles, put in the door of the fridge

    Step8

    If planning to keep for a longer period store in the cooler part of the fridge.
