Ingredients

  • ½ package ankimo
  • 4 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba)
  • 1 Tbsp dried wakame seaweed

For the Seasonings

  • ponzu
  • inches daikon radish
  • ½ tsp ichimi togarashi (Japanese chili pepper)

Instructions

  1. Gather all the ingredients.
  2. Soak 1 Tbsp dried wakame seaweed in water for 10 minutes, or until rehydrated.
  3. Meanwhile, peel and grate 1½ inches daikon radish.
  4. Gently squeeze out most of the liquid from the grated daikon, leaving some moisture (don’t dry it out completely).
  5. Add ½ tsp ichimi togarashi (Japanese chili pepper) and mix together.
  6. Remove ½ package ankimo from the packaging. Thinly slice the ankimo, roughly ¼ inch thick. I served 3 slices per person.
  7. Serve the ankimo on individual plates. Garnish the plates with the 4 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba), wakame, and grated and seasoned daikon. Drizzle the grated daikon with ponzu. Serve chilled.
