How to Use Kiriboshi Daikon
Since the daikon and carrots are very sweet, you can simmer them in dashi stock with just a hint of soy sauce to create a gently flavored dish without mirin or sugar. We also recommend rehydrating them in water until they reach your preferred texture and enjoying them as a salad, or mixing them with tuna or oil sardines. If you pickle them in honey, you can use them in hot drinks or as a topping for yogurt. You can also mix them into pancake or scone batter, utilizing their sweetness in various ways.
■ Recommended for rehydrating and using in salads or mixed dishes
■ Excellent for pickling in honey and topping yogurt
