Ingredients

  • 14 ounces daikon radish
  • ½ Teaspoon salt
  • 4 Tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon oil
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Use firm Daikon Radish, grab one root and break off the greens. (the greens can be used if they are young and fresh for another dish, such as in a stir-fry).
  2. Wash the root well so that impurities are all gone, and peel.
  3. Then, with a food processor, shred into small pieces and place into a salad bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the Daikon and mix. If you want to get rid of some water in the roots, then let the daikon sit with the salt for 15 minutes and then discard the water that has come out. I skip that step because I like my salad juicy.
  4. Then add the simple marination to the salad which is the vinegar, oil and black pepper. Mix the whole content well.
  5. Serve cooled in small portions with other main course dishes. See post and recipe card summary for serving suggestions.

Notes

  • You can shave the daikon root small, add some salt to it and let it marinate for 15 minutes at least. This will take out excess water, which you can discard afterward.2. Use only fresh and firm daikon roots for the best results!3. Make this “bigger” batch and store in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container. 4. The daikon salad starts to ferment when in contact with vinegar, salt, and oil. This is ok and gives the salad more flavor, but make sure to store in an airtight container because the odor can be like a strong Camembert cheese in the fridge.5. If you feel the salad is too spicy strong, then just add 1-2 Tablespoon cream or sour cream to balance the flavors. That way, the salad will turn out milder.
