05 Daikon Radish

Daikon (also known as mooli) is an Asian radish that is long and white with green leaves. A raw daikon should have a fresh, crisp bite but once it is slow-cooked, it should become soft and sweet and almost melt in your mouth. It is eaten simmered or slow-cooked and can also be grated, mixed with a little soy sauce and served with rolled omelette or added to a dipping sauce.
