Marinated Daikon and Carrot Salad (namasu) image

I've been making this for years. I took a recipe and changed it, it had 30g of carrots, and I like about equal weight of carrot and daikon. I make this using my zester which is nothing like a Microplane zester. It's small, hand held tool (with 6 holes at one end) which you drag down the food to get long thin ribbons. Works really well for these Japanese salads.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

350 g white radishes or 350 g daikon radishes
350 g carrots
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dashi powder, dissolved in
1 tablespoon hot water
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sugar
salt

Steps:

  • Cut the carrot and daikon into the thinest strips you can; I use a zester to do this and it works really well.
  • Sprinkle the vegetables with the half teaspoon of salt and allow to stand in a colander 10-15 minutes or until limp.
  • Transfer to a bowl.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients together and pour over the vegetables.
  • Taste for salt.
  • This can be used immediately, but marinating it for 24 hours will improve it; just keep it well covered as the radish can be a bit"smelly'" in your fridge.
