WHY DAIKON RADISH
Daikon has a really mild flavor and tons of crunch. When you’re out for sushi you’ll find it at the base of your sashimi or on the side as décor. Next time dip it in some sauce and give it a try if you haven’t yet!
The roots are long and PERFECT for a veggie noodle. I used a julienne tool to get all of it sliced up in minutes.
Daikon has many health benefits, enzyems to aid in digestion and detoxification as well as boosting immunity with it’s anti fungal properties.

GET CREATIVE
Citrus Asian Slaw would be great with purple cabbage for some extra color, carrot or red onion. Try cucumber or bean spouts if you have them in the fridge instead. Herbs like cilantro or basil, the possibilities are endless!
TIPS
When using a mandolin BE CAREFUL! Keep your fingers out of the way of the blade. Some have a tool you can use and others don’t to secure your fingertips. I keep may palm flat and keep an eye out if I get too far down on the veggie. This is the newer version of what I use in the video;
Get yourself a fancy julienne grater if you can for the radish, if not you can cut into thin matchstick style pieces with a sharp knife.
I use Redmond Real salt, a little goes a long way with this beautiful wonder. Salt to taste 😉
