Inheriting mother’s craft – pickled radish shreds

Overview

I went to the supermarket some time ago and saw whole bags of radishes on sale for NT$9.9 a bag, which is about 20 kilograms. It was so cheap that I couldn’t help but buy a bag. My mother asked me what I was going to do with so many radishes. In fact, when I saw the bags of radishes, I was already thinking I have thought about what it can be used for, and asked me to dry some radishes to make steamed buns when the weather is cold, and then pickle some shredded radish to eat porridge as a side dish in the morning. My mother said yes, it is good, but I have never pickled shredded radish and I have to learn from my mother. My mother happily said it was simple. In fact, many people in my hometown used to like to dry some dried radish. When there was a shortage of vegetables, they soaked it in hot water and fried it with meat or made steamed buns. I still prefer to make steamed buns and eat them. Now that living conditions are better and I grow less at home, it is a bit less expensive to buy them and dry them. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer dried radishes. I have always wanted to learn how to make pickled shredded radish with my mother. This time I finally did it. The red radish is as big as a fist. After drying part of the radish and pickling some shredded radish, a bag of radish is almost gone.
