How to make Japanese pickled Daikon radish/mooli, side dish or snack, good for Onigiri filling too

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

Can you buy Daikon radish in your country?

[@feastfortwo]

Yes, we have daikon radish here ☺

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

​​@@feastfortwo oh, good 😊. Which country? Thanks for letting me know.

[@Kanda-hime]

Thank you for recipe. Yes, we can buy daikon in Czech Republic (central Europe).

i had like 2-3 daikon i was given and didnt know what to do... love pickled daikon but never knew how to make it so gotta save this!

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

Someone have you 2,3 Daikin! Wow, It's good. From which country are you watching video? You can wrap the Daikon with newspaper and keep it in the fridge. Some people doing like that to keep the Daikon fresh in Japan.

I am going to make this. I live in rural Maine, USA and we can find radish easily. I am glad that I have found you. I am going to make many things in your videos. Thank you for sharing. I just subscribed.

Hello, Thank you for your comment and subscribing to my channel. Good!, you can get Daikon radish easily. I searched where rural Main is. It's beautiful place and seems you can get wide range of local vegetables!! I hope your radish pickles going well. Let me know when you make it and how was it. 😄

You can buy Mooli in Asda, UK. The pickle looks good, I shall try it.

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

Hi, Thank you for your comment. I bought the mooli at the street market, it was £1. At Tesco, they were selling £1.70. Asda is bit far from my home.

Thank you for the great recipe . Do you know how long can we keep it in the refrigerator?

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

Thank you for your comment. Up to 1week,, officialy 😁I think. I finished them in around 2 weeks.

[@ednasalinas5975]

do I have to rinse off the salt after it has been sitting overnight?

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

Hi, Thank you for your comment. I didn't rinse off the salt. The radish released water a lot. And I think the water washed off the salt aswell. Just squeeze and pat dry. But watch out the amount of the salt just in case.

In Canada, if you're in any city, daikon is in most supermarkets. Outside of cities, in smaller towns, I would only expect to find it in the more expensive grocery stores.

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

Hi, Thank you for your comment. Ok, you can get Daikon at supermarket in Canada. It's good. Not all the supermarket have Daikon in London. I got it at the street market. Yes, Daikon is not so cheap like in Japan. Thank you for letting me know and watching my video from Canada 😄

[@ednasalinas5975]

Yes, we can buy daikon in Peru. It was possibly brought in by Japanese immigrants many years ago, just my thoughts.

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

Okay. Great. Peru has Daikon, its amazing. Thank you for letting me know. Is there many Japanese living in Peru?

[@ednasalinas5975]

@@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732 Yes, there is a big group of Nikkei in Peru. They immigrated to Latin America decades ago but I don't think there are newcomers in recent years. Of course the biggest group of Japanese is always in São Paulo, Brazil.

[@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732]

@@ednasalinas5975 I just knew, Peru has Nikkei food or cuisine. Nikkei food is Japanese Peruvian cuisine, right?. I have worked at a bar at the Royal albert Hall in London and I created Ceviche using Japanese ingredients. (i used Sushi vinegar instead of lemon, it was very nice) Thank you very much for your comment. I learned a lots.

[@ednasalinas5975]

@@flexi-veggiejapaneseinlond3732 Yes, the Peruvian Japanese has developed some great Nikkei version, the most prominent may be the rolls. I find the main difference is the rolls here widely use cream cheese (I think that might have started in US), and some thick toppings (often time has some mayo mixed in the toppings). The Nobu restaurant owner was inspired a great deal in his menu creation from Peruvian Nikkei.

So different from from my Japanese born mother recipe. We don’t use sugar.

@@janetsueoka6372 one dish with many recipes like other. You don't need to be stuck with only one recipe. Try many ways and you will have your own recipe 😉
