Starting a day ahead, peel the turnips &, one at a time, slice them

In a mixing bowl, stir the salt into 1/4 c cold water. Add the
turnips. Soak in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
The following day, cover the dried red pepper with cold water & soak
at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until soft. Cut off the top
of the pepper, remove & discard the seeds, slice the pepper crosswise
into very thin rings.
Wrap the piece of kombu in a damp towel and let it rest for about an
hour, or until it is soft and pliable. Cut into strips 1" by 1/8"
wide.
Drain the turnips & squeeze them firmly until dry. Combine the
vinegar, 1/2 c cold water, sugar & a sprinkle of soy sauce in a 1 1/2

kombu, & stir again. Cover tightly with a jar cover or plastic wrap,
