Milder than red radishes, daikon are sweet and incredibly versatile. They can be pickled, stewed like a potato, or shredded and included in coleslaw or tucked into a Vietnamese banh mi. This side dish from Hawai‘i is crunchy and funky, the rice vinegar and turmeric making an otherwise mild, white radish into a dynamic pickle that pairs well with rice dishes and salads, or as a snack.
