  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and seeded
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded
  • ½ Daikon radish, peeled
  • ½ cup jicama, peeled

  • ½ cup bok choy

  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  1. Two days before serving, cut all the veggies (except the ginger) to a matchstick size or julienne. The goal is ¼ × ¼ by 2-inches. (Be careful when you seed and chop the hot pepper, and keep your hands away from your face the oil from it can burn your eyes.)
  2. In a large bowl, sprinkle the veggies with the salt and toss to coat them thoroughly. Place the salted veggies in a colander or large strainer and let them stand and drain at room temperature for about 3 hours.
  3. Rinse the veggies, and place in a large glass container. Add the sugar, ginger, and the vinegar. Mix well.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 days before using. Stir thoroughly after the first day.
