almost impossible to cut each slice equally.\u00a0 On the other hand, slices that are slightly different in thickness gives a more warm handmade unique look when creating roses.<\/p>\n<p

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Growing up on Japanese food and flavoring, my first thought for this was that it might go well with many international cuisines.\u00a0 However, if you are more familiar with vegetables pickled in vinegar with herbs and spices, you might find its taste too bold.\u00a0 Or if you have your favorite pickling recipe, go ahead with it and enjoy the dramatic presentation that radishes offer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The pickling process doesn&#8217;t take too long.\u00a0 You will see the radishes turning a soft pink in a few hours and it&#8217;s ready to eat.\u00a0 Although the pickling time is 5-10 hours in my recipe, I recommend to wait from 12 to 24 hours if time allows.\u00a0 By that time, the skin loses its color and merges with the whole pickle color just like in the picture on the top.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

ago and kept wanting to make for days!\u00a0 The recipe is made by <a href=\"http:\/\/savorysweetlife.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alice<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/savorysweetlife.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Savory Sweet Life<\/a>.\u00a0 She is a passionate cook, an active star blogger, and a wonderful mom.\u00a0 I can honestly say that her enthusiasm toward everything has given me a push when I was wondering if I should start my own blog.\u00a0 I&#8217;d like to send a sincere gratitude to her for this super delicious recipe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a

didn&#8217;t doubt even a bit that peanut butter was the key ingredient in making Pad Thai sauce.\u00a0 Please don&#8217;t ask me where on earth I got this idea because I don&#8217;t even know.\u00a0 So with that firm belief, I fell in the dilemma of using what I thought was the right ingredients, but the result was always too sticky and the peanut was over powering in flavor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Alice&#8217;s recipe which uses tamarind juice concentrate and palm sugar was truly eye opening and guided me through an adventurous journey of these new ingredients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If you want to see her detailed recipe, click the link below!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a

will turn so many foods into divine dishes.\u00a0 As my first try with this sauce is &#8220;No-Yolk Shrimp Omelette Sandwich&#8221; as you can see in the picture below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

egg whites, chopped shrimp, minced cilantro, salt and white pepper.<br \/>\nCook it in a frying pan then cut it to a size that fits nicely in a bun.\u00a0 Toast the buns, place a slice of Swiss cheese to melt, add the omelette and rub some of the Pat Thai sauce on top.<br \/>\nI love this kind of fusion cooking in which different cuisines from different parts of the world meet.\u00a0 I also put my &#8220;Picked Radish&#8221; in the sandwiches as a substitute of pickled cucumber.\u00a0 It was pretty to the eyes and added nice crunchiness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p
