    Using a mandolin, carefully slice ginger (paper thin) and then radishes; place radish slices in jars and set aside. Place sliced ginger in a pot of boiling water and process for 7 to 8 minutes. Drain well before sprinkling with salt; let it sit for 30 minutes. Dry the slices with paper towels before transferring them to the jars with radishes.

About 8 to 12 hours later, remove the discolored radish slices from the jars and discard them. Place jars back in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It keeps for 2 months. Makes 2 -250 ml jars
