The correct way to dry radish is to choose sunny weather, cut the radish into strips, and dry them in a sunny place.
First of all, choose a sunny day and ensure sufficient sunshine to facilitate drying of dried radishes. Wash the radish, remove the head, tail and roots, and cut into evenly sized strips. Blanch the cut radish strips in boiling water to remove the pungent flavor and part of the moisture from the radish. Then, remove the blanched radish strips and drain the water, spread them evenly on a drying net or clean gauze, and place them in a sunny place to dry.
Turn the dried radish several times a day to prevent the dried radish from becoming moldy and deteriorating. During the drying process, attention should also be paid to preventing the intrusion of birds and insects. Generally, dried radish can be obtained by drying for 3-5 days. In addition, in order to make the dried radish more delicious, you can add an appropriate amount of salt and seasonings to marinate it before drying.
