Step 1

Cut the daikon radish crosswise into 4-inch pieces. (Optionally, take a small knife to carve 2 balls, so that we can use them to make a snowman shape.) Or you can simply cut the radish into some ½-inch wide strips. Cut the carrot into ⅛-inch round slices. (Optionally use a vegetable cutter to cut out some flower-shape carrot slices.)

Step 2

Cut the cucumber into 3-inch pieces, then cut each piece of cucumber lengthwise into halves. (Optionally, take a small knife to each half of cucumber into a Christmas tree.) Or you can simply cut each half lengthwise down the center to get some cucumber quarters.

Step 3

Place the daikon radish, carrot, cucumber, and celery sticks to a large bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp of salt over the vegetables, rub the salt evenly on radish. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

30 minutes later, drain and rinse the vegetables with clean water. Optionally, use toothpick to make the daikon radish into a snowman. I used 2 black beans as the snowman's eyes. You can also use sesame seeds.

Step 5

Place 2 stems of cilantros in the bottom of a 16 oz glass jar. Place the radish snowman, garlic cloves, ginger slices, chili peppers, and salt marinated vegetables in the jar.

Step 6

Add all the ingredients for for pickle brine (see ingredients list above) into a bowl, stir with a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.
