Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hello Peg was asking about Daikon. I consulted a wonderful book called " Pete Luckett's complete guide to Fresh Fuit and Vegetables " If you can lay your hands on it is a wonderful resource for trying new fruits and vegetables. It will tell you about the fruit or vegetable, when it is in season and what to look for. It also has some recipes. Here is what he says about daikon. It is also known as chinese or Japanese radish. is a super vegetable for dieters because it speeds up the breakdown of fat in the body. It tastes just like radish, although somewhat hotter and it cooks wonderfully. A simple recipe in this book is for sauteed Daikon 1 tbsp peanut oil 3/4 lb daikon scrubbed and thinly sliced salt and sugar 1 tbsp parsley, minces 2 tbsp fresh chives, minced 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds Pour the oil into a frying pan or wok. Heat. Add the daklon and toss to cover with oil. Sprinkle with a little salt and sugar to taste. Toss over high heat until the daikon has mellowed a little, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; toss with parsley and chives. Sprinkle with seseame seeds and serve hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
