    Kiriboshi daikon (dried daikon radish)

    Kiriboshi daikon is Japanese dried food made by shredding raw daikon radishes and drying them in the sun.

    How to cook dried daikon is easy. Soak them to rehydrate (increase the volume about four times), then use them for soups or salads. The most common dish is simmered daikon radish.

    The drying process increases the nutrients and sweetness while adding an umami flavor. They're a healthy ingredient that's rich in dietary fiber as well as minerals like calcium!

    You can find the package at a Japanese grocery store or online store (Dried daikon radish).
