Farm Fresh Recipes — daikon

The arrival of winter doesn't mean that salads are off the menu here at the Farm. Over the winter our salads become heartier, like this one that is filled with sweet roasted root vegetables and peppery arugula.

Fried Noodles and Veggies. Can you think of a better way to eat your tasty carrots, Napa cabbage and daikon radish?⁠⁠Me neither.⁠

This is one of my families favourite meals! It is also one of those take-the-afternoon to languish in my kitchen and prepare an extra special meal recipes. Simply because the chopping of all our favourite ingredients takes time :) But boy, is it worth it! 

First off daikon is a crunchy, winter radish that becomes sweeter if you peel it - which is Jolianne's advice to you, if you plan to eat it raw. Daikon is delicious in kimchi or a stir fry, lightly steamed with olive oil, salt or lemon juice for flavour or eaten raw. All you have to do is slice the daikon radish, dip it in dressing or peanut butter or add shredded raw daikon to your salad.
