Ingredients
- 500 grams Daikon radish
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 stalk Green onion
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the daikon radish and carrot. Slice them into thin matchsticks or julienne strips.
Step 2
Place the radish and carrot strips into a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to draw out water from the vegetables.
Step 3
While the radish and carrot are resting, prepare the dressing by mincing the garlic cloves and combining them in a small bowl with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and red chili flakes. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, drain the excess water from the radish and carrot mixture and gently squeeze them to remove any additional liquid.
Step 5
Pour the prepared dressing over the radish and carrot. Toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 6
Slice the green onion thinly and sprinkle it over the salad along with sesame seeds for garnish.
Step 7
Serve the salad immediately for maximum freshness, or chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.
