Many people have asked me how to cook daikon radishes. This Asian radish is a very mellow vegetable and happens to be a superfood. It is packed with vitamins and very good for us. But in the United States, most people don't know what to do with a Daikon radish. In this video I will show you 2 simple recipes that are quite delicious. Will make a traditional Taiwanese soup with pork and daikon radishes, and we will make a Korean Daikon radish salad. The recipes are below.
