Ingredients
-
3 pounds Lo Bok, peeled
-
1 1/2 medium Carrots
-
2 tablespoon Kosher Salt plus 1/2 teaspoon
-
1/3 cup Red Wine Vinegar
-
1/3 cup Rice Vinegar
-
3/4 cup Sugar
-
3 tablespoons Peanut Oil
-
5 each Dried Red Peppers
-
1 teaspoon Sichuan Peppercorn

1 tablespoon Ginger, fresh, peeled, fined, julienned

6 small Thai Peppers

Directions
Special equipment: a mandoline or other manual slicer cut radish and carrots into fine julienne with mandoline, then toss with 2 tablespoons kosher salt in a bowl and let stand 1 hour.
Drain in a colander, then squeeze handfuls in a kitchen towel to remove moisture and transfer to a bowl.
While vegetables are standing, heat vinegars, sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a small nonreactive saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved.
Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a small heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté dried peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, stirring, until peppers are blackened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in ginger and fresh peppers, then stir into vinegar mixture.
Cool sauce. Pour sauce through a fine sieve into bowl with radish and carrots.
Add scallion, cilantro and sesame oil and marinate, tossing occasionally for 30 minutes. Serve cold.
