Equipment
Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel the daikon with a peeler or knife.
- Place a grater over a bowl, hold the daikon on your right (if you are right-handed) and the grater on your left hand.
- Place the flat side of the daikon against the grater and move it back and forth.
- Continue until the daikon is too small to grate.
Notes
- Storage: Keep it in the fridge for 1-2 days or freezer for one month.
- Daikon radishes vary in taste profiles based on their sections. Choose the middle or upper part for a milder flavor. Opt for the lower part if you prefer it as a spicy condiment.
- If your daikon oroshi is too spicy, consider these options: Allow it to sit for a while, letting the peppery element naturally evaporate for a milder taste. Alternatively, adding a bit of lemon or vinegar can help tone down the spiciness.
- When you grate daikon, it releases plenty of water. Instead of throwing it away, consider adding it to soups and dressings or simply enjoying it as a refreshing drink.
