‘Daikon Carrot Namasu’ is one of my all time favourite ‘ae-mono’, a type of salad. The sweet and sour dressing goes very well with Daikon. Whole-grain mustard can add extra flavour to the sweet and sour dressing. You may wish to add some other vegetables such as Cucumber, Carrot, Mizuna or Sprouts.

Steps

1

Peel and slice Daikon into 2 to 3mm thin strips. I usually use a slicer. If you cut by knife, slice diagonally 2 to 3mm thin, then slice into 2 to 3mm strips.
2

Sprinkle the Salt and massage, rest for a while, then drain and squeeze to remove excess salty water.
3

Mix Vinegar, Sugar and Whole-grain Mustard, add vegetables and mix well. Set aside for about ten minutes to let it well seasoned. Sprinkle some thinly sliced green herb on top and serve.
