Oshinko is a type of Japanese pickled vegetable, usually eaten on the side with a main dish, such as curry, served on top of rice, or eaten alone as a snack.

1 carrot, peeled and julienned
1 daikon radish, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 seedless cucumber, peeled and very thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. ground chili
4 TB salt
1 TB soy sauce
1 TB sake
1 TB mirin

Directions:

Place vegetables in a large, shallow bowl and cover with salt, tossing well. Cover with plastic wrap. Place a plate or bowl on top to compress vegetables. Place something heavy, like a large stone, on the top bowl to weigh it down. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 3 days. Twice a day during the 3 days, remove weighted plate and plastic wrap and stir vegetables, draining off excess liquid.
