Did you know? Daikon (Japanese (Chinese), or sweet radish) is a white root vegetable that resembles large carrots in shape. It is rich in calcium, vitamin C, fiber and enzymes that break down carbohydrates. It can be cooked, fried, stewed and added to salads fresh. Unlike radish, daikon does not contain mustard oil, so it has a milder taste. At home - in Japan and China - they use root crops, leaves, and shoots for food.
Useful Tips
- You can change the amount of ingredients depending on your taste preferences: put more bell peppers or make the dressing more / less sharp, increasing / decreasing the amount of hot pepper and garlic.
