Sweet and Sour Turnip Strips

This is a variation on the flower-shaped turnips in the previous recipe; here the vegetable is cut into thin strips. The delightfully piquant, crispy pickle that results is one of the five garnishes in Five-Colored sushi. Sweet and Sour Turnip Strips are equally suited to serving as a condiment with roasted or braised entrées such as miso-Marinated Baked Chicken.
