Pickled radish is a classic side dish in Korean cuisine. While most Asian recipes use Daikon radish, we realize that it can be difficult to source in many places, so this recipe uses pink radish, which is more easily accessible. The sweet and sour marinade is still reminiscent of Korean pickled radish, and it goes well with pretty much any type of grilled meat or fish, stir fry, or curry you can think of.
