Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-4 servings)

  • Daikon Radish 300g
  • Carrot 50g

Seasonings

  • [A] Konbu Dashi 6 tbsp
  • [A] Vinegar 4 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 25g
  • [A] Salt 1/3 tsp
  • Salt 1/3 tsp

Steps

  1. Prepare the sweet and sour dressing ingredients: 6 tbsp Konbu Dashi, 4 tbsp Vinegar, 25g Sugar, and 1/3 tsp Salt.
  2. In a storage container, combine 6 tbsp Konbu Dashi, 25g Sugar, 4 tbsp Vinegar, and 1/3 tsp Salt.
  3. Mix with chopsticks to dissolve the seasonings and create the sweet and sour dressing.
  4. Peel 300g Daikon Radish and 50g Carrot using a peeler.
  5. Julienne the daikon radish and carrot lengthwise along the fibers.
  6. Place the julienned daikon radish and carrot in a bowl and mix until uniform. The perfect ratio is 6 parts daikon to 1 part carrot for a balanced red and white appearance.
  7. Add 1/3 tsp Salt to the mixed vegetables and mix well to coat.
  8. Let the salted vegetables sit for 10 minutes.
  9. After 10 minutes, firmly squeeze out the water from the vegetables by hand. Squeezing out the water thoroughly prevents dilution and improves shelf life.

  11. Gently loosen with chopsticks and allow the vegetables to absorb the dressing.
  12. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for a while to allow the flavors to meld. Then it's ready to serve!
