2 kohlrabi, 3 if small
1 medium onion, diced
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp oil
1 tbsp fresh herbs (thyme, sage, chives, etc.)
Grate kohlrabi, place in colander and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 30 minutes to drain. Heat oil, add onions, and sauté a few minutes over medium heat.

1 gn. cabbage, sliced thin
4 Carrots, sliced
1 lg onion, sliced
3tbsp sea salt
Put vegetables and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix with your hands. Transfer the salted vegetables to a clean crock. Use a small plate that fits inside the crock. Place a heavy rock on top. Cover the crock with a clean dish towel. Put the crock in the pantry, dry basement, or a dark, cool corner counter of the kitchen.
Check the next day to make sure that the cabbage is covered by its own juice - if not, add more weight. Check again the next day, and if the cabbage is not covered, add more salt. Check the sauerkraut daily. Skim off any mold that forms on top. After 10 days, taste. If the cabbage is sufficiently fermented, refrigerate it in clean jars for up to a year. If not, taste again the next day. Sauerkraut is ready in 10-14 days. If it is too salty, rinse or soak in cool water for a day

1 cup rice vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 pound daikon radish
1/4 cup kosher salt
In a small saucepan over medium heat add the vinegar, water, sugar, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
Meanwhile, peel the daikon radish and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. (If your daikon is very large, slice the rounds into semicircles.) Place in a colander with salt and mix well. Place the colander over a bowl and let drain for 1 hour. Rinse the salt off with a couple of changes of water and dry the daikon well. Put into a sterilized glass jar. Pour the cooled brine through a coffee filter (or a cheesecloth lined strainer) into the jar to cover the radish slices. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Will keep for about 2 weeks.
