Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Daikon radish
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 stalk Green onion
Instructions
Wash and peel the daikon radish and carrot. Slice them into thin matchsticks or julienne strips.
Place the radish and carrot strips into a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to draw out water from the vegetables.
While the radish and carrot are resting, prepare the dressing by mincing the garlic cloves and combining them in a small bowl with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and red chili flakes. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
After 10 minutes, drain the excess water from the radish and carrot mixture and gently squeeze them to remove any additional liquid.
Pour the prepared dressing over the radish and carrot. Toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
Slice the green onion thinly and sprinkle it over the salad along with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve the salad immediately for maximum freshness, or chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.
