Wendell made miso soup last night and left this leftover daikon on the kitchen counter. This morning when I checked out Kat's Our Adventures in Japan blog she had posted a recipe for tsukemono where she used a 6-inch piece of daikon in it! What a coincidence yah!
I peeled and sliced the daikon, sprinkled with Hawaiian salt and put it in my tsukemono press. I think you don't really have to press it, but since I have one I just used it.
After about an hour I drained out the liquid, rinsed the daikon, quartered the slices ('cause that's how Kat's was) and sprinkled with sesame seeds (supposed to be roasted). The recipe calls for Ajinomoto too, but we never really use it anymore.
Heat up 1/3 c. shoyu, 1/4 c. Japanese vinegar, 1/4 c. brown sugar and 1 chili pepper until sugar dissolves.
Pour over daikon.
Leave at room temperature for about 3 to 4 hours. Refrigerate after that.
It actually came out pretty potent, and I think it's because I used Yamasa shoyu which is kinda dark and strong. I really, really like it though. Thanks Kat!!

Confession time, in case you didn't know.
When I was in high school and let's face it, even now, I stunk at math.

So easy, Les.
I like daikon = ) looks very good.
Looks good! You don't use Aloha Shoyu, huh...
Me too mmiissee. This one gotta eat with plenny rice . . . came out real shoyu-y.
Betty, Wendell prefers Aloha. Me and Landon like Yamasa. Landon says that recipes are more geared toward Aloha-type usage though. I think I shoulda used Aloha for this recipe.
That looks SOOOOO good. I wish I had a daikon in the fridge right now. And those cupcakes...
I guess I've already sinned in my heart. The diet I started today is over. :)
