Easy Tibetan Pickled Radish & Pickled Radish Stir Fry - Authentic Son Labu Recipe

Pickled radish, a classic tibetan side dish. Although fairly easy to make, some people struggle with its fermentation method. Small mistakes can make it go bad fast.
Not only will I show you how it's done, I will also showcase a classical tibetan main dish that can be created with pickled radish: Radish & Beef Stir Fry.
Make sure to adjust seasoning accordingly if you make smaller batches.
Tips:
1. use boiled or bottled water (water should be at room temperature)
2. use salt without iodine if possible (himalayan salt works too)
3. use a clean jar and try to not contaminate it (use clean chopsticks when taking it out)
Ingredients:
For pickled radish:
- white radish
- red radish
- 1l water
- 2 1/2 tablespoons salt
- 3 dried chili peppers
- 15 sichuan pepper corns
For stir fry:
- 300g (10.5 oz) beef
- 2 dried chili peppers
- 1 green onion
- 6 sichuan pepper corns
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

[@sanatanainfiniti4239]

Definitely will try it. How do you know if sonlabu is fermented properly? How can you tell if good or not. You are too clean. I'll hesitate to work in your kitchen. The combination looks very good. Though the dish looks bit pale, some termeric or paprika might make it look more appetizing. Thanks for the recipe. I want to see how suasage is made but it might mess your kitchen.

[@thuptenchodon6319]

😋Yummy😋

[@tentash2002]

[@namgyel6447]

No,Tibetan only prepare with radish, maybe search Korean they do prepare with cabbage. Hope it helps. You are man eater than why cabbage 😜😜😜 just kidding 👍

How long will it take to ferment during winter?

[@lobsangchoephel3784]

[@pemanamgyal2688]

Hw it happen sour? Wat u added to become sour un sounlabbu?

[@HimalayanDumplings]

The fermentation process makes the Son Labhu tangy/sour. The salt in the Son Labhu & the sun warmth helps start that fermentation process 💛

[@Crazy-ur8xm]

Is it possible to make this recipes in plastic containers??

[@PaldensKitchen]

I don't recommend it

[@samantabhadra3275]
