Cooking tips

  • Monosodium glutamate is optional, but adding about half a tablespoon enhances savoriness dramatically, giving the salad that signature store-bought side dish flavor that sticks to your palate.
  • Moisture and sweetness levels in daikon can vary by season or quality—taste after mixing and adjust salt or sugar to your preference.
  • If green onion isn’t available, substitute with half a scallion chopped finely.

Recommended for

  • Home cooks wanting to quickly make a fail-proof side dish using leftover daikon.
  • Anyone interested in mastering the golden ratio for a store-bought-style radish salad.
