Boiled Daikon Radish: A Light, Healthy Side Dish
Report
This boiled daikon requires no oil, no wok, and no extreme high heat. Since I always have a daikon radish in the fridge, it’s my go-to side dish in the wintertime. I just cut it up, boil it with a few ingredients I always have in my pantry, and a healthy, surprisingly tasty meal awaits!
