How do you like your daikon?

My husband's co-worker just gave us two huge daikon radishes. We have two recipes - slice it up and marinate in vinegar, or shred it up, soak in soy sauce, and eat with rice. I was curious to see if anyone on MFP had a good daikon recipe. How do you like to prepare daikon?

if you aren't up to making kimchee, you can slice very thin (like w/ a mandolin), soak the slices in ice water to crisp them up, and use them as 'crackers' for a nice olive tapenade.

If you go ahead and pickle it, you could also prepare some carrots too and eat as a side or on homemade banh mi.

Enjoy!

I am trying it shredded in a simple salad w/lettuce, mushrooms, onion and cucumber. Comes in pretty low in calories, so I am added some mozarella cheese (for protein) and raisins as a kind of dessert-like treat =D

I make chinese turnip cake (lo bak gao) or roast like any other root vegetable pictured here roasted with cherry tomatoes. The Chinese turnip cake can be cooked in a low microwave instead of steaming for an hour.

Use it like you would a potato…. Gently fried in skillet/ air fryer/ mashed. Lots of good nutrition ….

I made some more Chinese turnip cake. Ignore the instructions in recipes to steam for an hour in the wok. Put the turnip and rice flour batter in a tupperware style container, seal loosely and microwave 20 minutes or so on medium until a toothpick comes out clean in the centre.
