Equipment

  • 1 Small glass jar, for the dressing (80ml)

Ingredients
  

  • Daikon, 400g
  • 1 pack of Sprouts, 50g
  • Shredded Nori for topping
Sesame Dressing
  • 2 Tbsp Ground Sesame Seeds
  • 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel the daikon and shred it. Remove the roots from the sprouts. Combine both in a large bowl.
  2. Make Sesame Dressing: Put all the dressing ingredients, ground sesame seeds, mayonnaise, sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bottle. Seal it tightly, then give it a good shake to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Serve: Arrange the daikon and sprout on a plate and sprinkle shredded nori generously over the salad. Serve with the dressing.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for two days. For more extended storage, freeze it in a bag for up to a month.
  • For the best flavor, add the dressing to the salad just before serving to prevent the daikon from releasing excess water.
  • Customize your salad by adding a variety of vegetables like lettuce, baby leaf, mizuna, shiso leaves, cucumber, carrot, cabbage, and corn.
  • Once the dressing is well-blended, check the taste, and feel free to tweak it to your liking by adding extra soy sauce, sugar, or mayonnaise.
