How do you cook and eat daikon radish?> Root part of daikon radish If you divide the daikon radish into 3 part, the top part is sweeter than the bottom. The top part: It’s the sweetest part and is a little tough in texture. This part is best used in a salad or as grated daikon radish for a topping. The middle part: It is still sweet but not as sweet as the top part. The texture is crunchy but relatively soft. It's great for making braised daikon radish or hotpot. The bottom part: The bottom part of a daikon radish has a little pungency in taste. It’s great for giving a kick to any dish. I like to grate mine and eat it with grilled fish. The leaf part: The leaves are more nutritious than the root. You definitely want to take advantage of it! It has a bitterness and unique aroma. It might not be kid friendly. I don’t eat as raw because of it's aroma. To me, it’s similar to kale. My go-to recipe using leaf part of daikon radish is as a topping for rice. Here is the recipe!
