Chinese Radish

These long, white radishes are found fresh in Chinese or Oriental markets. Like most root vegetables, they should be peeled and then sliced. They are spicy and absorb the flavors of the sauce of the dish in which they are cooked, yet they keep their own radish bite. Look for hard, firm radishes. They keep well in the vegetable bin for about a week. They can be roll-cut, sliced, or shredded and added to soups or simply stir-fried with meats. They can also be pickled.
