Daikon Salad - Mu Saingchai image

This is a very light salad from Korea and something similar to one served at a local Korean restaurant. You can julienne the vegetables if you have the patience but I use a Japanese mandolin, it has various attachments and makes the job so much easier. This would be served as part of a meal

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 daikon radish
1 nashi or 1 granny smith apple
3 spring onions
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1 chili, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Peel the radish and either cut into julienne strips or use a vegetable mandolin. Peel the nashi and do the same. Soak the nashi in cold water with the lemon juice (this stops the pear browning).
  • Slice all parts of the spring onions finely.
  • After toasting the sesame seeds cool slightly and then crush in a mortar and pestle. It doesn't have to be mashed to a paste. Mix this with all the other dressing ingredients. The chili is optional.
  • Drain the nashi and mix with the radish and spring onion and pour over the dressing. Let sit for 2 hours before serving to let the flavours develop.
