If you have visited Asia or Japan, you must have seen their food markets flooded with these. There are different types of dishes that you can make with daikon radish, including pickles, but you may enjoy them raw as well.

Steps to make How To Choose and Prepare Daikon Radishes:
  1. How to chose a good daikon radish: Look at the small holes at the bottom of the daikon radish. Are they all lined up? That's a sign that this daikon grew healthily, without any stress.
  2. Cut the daikon radish into 3-4 cm thick slices. Use the top 2/3 of the daikon for simmering dishes. The bottom part is spicier, so it's more suitable for grated daikon dishes!
  3. Look closely and you will see the fibrous part changes at about 5 mm from the skin. That's the part you need to peel off.
  4. There's a trick to peeling the skin… just try it out for yourself and see: First, make a slit with a toothpick the size you see in the photo. You can cut it with a knife also.
  5. Got it? It should look like this.
  6. Now it's time for Hand Power! That sounds like a popular Japanese magician's old catchphrase, but really, you can peel it with your hand!
  7. Look! It comes off so smoothly! If you are worried about your nails, use a spoon.
  8. It's done! Isn't it amazing? You can peel the skin along the line described in Step 3! This is a characteristic of the daikon radish.
  9. To prevent the daikon from falling apart during simmering, shave off the sharp edge on both sides. You can also use a peeler of course.
  10. In this photo, the right side is smaller than the left side, so it's going to touch the plate when it is served. That means you should make slits on this side.
  11. Score it crosswise: Make a crisscross incision with a knife. The depth should be about 5-10 mm. These slits let the taste penetrate inside.
  12. That's how it's done! Impressive, huh? After this, start boiling them with the crisscross side down.
  13. Place the daikon radish inside a skillet and pour in just enough water to cover the daikon. Then add a teaspoon of rice…
  14. Heat the frying pan just until the water starts boiling, then simmer it slowly for 30 minutes! This is called "pocher" in French.
  15. After 30 minutes, rinse the daikon under running water to remove the stickiness on the surface.
  16. They're done! Now use them in your favorite dishes! The taste will be so much better!

With its sharp, slightly bitter taste and lightly crunchy texture, daikon is often pickled for use as a condiment (including for our Korean Marinated Beef (Bulgogi)). Once peeled and sliced thin, grated, or cut into matchsticks, it can also be eaten raw in salads and on sandwiches. Daikon is frequently used in stir-fries, curries, and soups. Place daikon radishes in a baking pan or slow cooker with carrots, onions, garlic, low-sodium seasonings, low-sodium vegetable broth, lean meat and all of your favorite vegetables. Turn on low and let the juices and flavors start mixing for an all-in-one meal!
