Daikon stir fry ingredients.
  • Daikon: While you can use any part of the daikon, the skin is ideal for this recipe because of its firmer texture. If you’re peeling daikon for another dish, donโ€™t toss the skinsโ€”save them for this tasty stir-fry!
  • Shio Kombu: Shio means salt, and kombu is kelpโ€”together, shio kombu is salty, slightly sweet, and packed with umami. It adds great flavor to stir-fries, pickles, and salads. If you donโ€™t have it on hand, you can substitute with a mix of dashi powder, soy sauce, and a little sugar.
  • Sesame oil: This adds a lovely nutty aroma and flavor to the stir-fry. You can also use olive oil or another neutral cooking oil, if preferred.

  1. Hi, I would love to try this dish, but it’s hard to buy here shio kombu; can I make my own shio kombu???

    1. Thank you, Holly! Adding sesame oil and soy sauce sound nice! You could also add shio koji for seasoning. I’m glad you liked the recipe!

    Thank you Chef Ja,

    I was always eating daikon with its skin, supposing it may have some health properties too.
    I may start getting into the habit of peeling daikon from now on an saving the skin, to practice your recipe, which intrigues me !

    Greetings from Venice,

    1. Hi Gian, Thank you for your comment! YES! Daikon skin containsใ€€nutrition such as dietary fiber, vitamin C so it’s good to eat it! I’m so glad you find this recipe. Enjoy daikon cooking!
