whole daikon |
You have most likely had it shredded beside your sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. (the small pile of the almost clear veggies) My favourite way to eat daikon is a salad, the daikon is shredded with carrot and dressed with a vinegar, sugar, sesame dressing. I use this salad as part of one of my easy to make meals, a Japanese style rice bowl with lots of sides including omelette, tuna or salmon, sesame seeds and seaweed. (Recipe coming soon)
I have shown 3 ways to prepare daikon below: cut in cubes for soup, julienned for salads and grated as a garnish for sashimi. I am sure there are many more ways but this should get you started.
1. Cut off how much daikon you need for your recipe.

Grated Daikon
(this can be done with or without chilli, if you don't want chilli just grate the daikon and squeeze out excess moisture)
1. Poke holes in daikon with a chop stick.
