Daikon Salad - Mu Saingchai
"This is a very light salad from Korea and something similar to one served at a local Korean restaurant. You can julienne the vegetables if you have the patience but I use a Japanese mandolin, it has various attachments and makes the job so much easier. This would be served as part of a meal"

ingredients
- 1 daikon radish
- 1 nashi or 1 granny smith apple
- 3 spring onions
- 1 lemon, juiced
-
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 chili, finely chopped
directions
- Peel the radish and either cut into julienne strips or use a vegetable mandolin. Peel the nashi and do the same. Soak the nashi in cold water with the lemon juice (this stops the pear browning).
- Slice all parts of the spring onions finely.
- After toasting the sesame seeds cool slightly and then crush in a mortar and pestle. It doesn't have to be mashed to a paste. Mix this with all the other dressing ingredients. The chili is optional.
- Drain the nashi and mix with the radish and spring onion and pour over the dressing. Let sit for 2 hours before serving to let the flavours develop.
