daikon radish alternative?

[directhex]

i have a recipe scheduled for next week, which demands daikon radish

i can't seem to locate any easily, even from waitrose

any suggestions on an applicable replacement? european red radishes have little in common

[atrull]

closest thing I can think of is a the white part of a white cabbage heart or a white turnip.

on a side note..

my car is named after the white cabbage butterfly (*monshirochou) but daikon is still a damned cool name

[atrull]

oh and if you are desperate for the real thing.. oriental city is just down the a5!

[menthel]

Mmm, Johan Plaza! Go forth and eat pork buns...

[atrull]

yeah, m40, a41, a5/edware road ... turn right b00m.

haven't been in ages.. feeling the need.. :cry:

What's the recipe?

a japanese take on the humble beefburger

and i went to the chinese supermarket. omgdaikon!

You can get daikon at tesco but its called mooli, which I reckon is the chinese name.
The closet thing otherwise is probably a turnip

Sounds good. Could you post the recipe?

[directhex]

Sounds good. Could you post the recipe?

s' out of a book, so reposting it would be piracy

however, it's pretty much "make burgers, put grated daikon on top, then fried shiitake on top of that. drizzle with soy sauce. serve with rice"



big, isn't it

[Kumagoro]

Ill show you mine if you show me yours.



Now this is a big daikon.
