Daikon: While any part of the daikon can be used, the skin is perfect for this recipe because of its firmer texture. If you’re preparing other daikon recipes, don’t discard them. Instead, save them to use in this stir fry recipe.

I didn’t have shio kombu (and didn’t see the suggested substitution), so I just made it with sesame oil and a touch of soy sauce. What a fun and tasty way to put the peeled skin to good use!

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,

Gian
