Instructions

  1. Gather all the ingredients.
  2. Quickly rinse 1.4 oz kiriboshi daikon (dried daikon strips) and soak in water for 15–20 minutes.
  3. Measure and set aside ½ cup reserved water from soaking kiriboshi daikon. Drain the kiriboshi daikon and squeeze out the water. Cut into pieces 2–3 inches long.
