  1. In a small bowl, combine vinegar and sugar. Mix well.

  3. Place radishes in another small bowl and cover them with very cold water. Allow the radishes to curl.

  4. In a medium pot, place the eggs and add enough water to cover them by 3 inches. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

  5. Once boiling, immediately cover the pot, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit for 8 minutes.
