- This recipe yields 6 servings,
- Tip: If you prefer a less nippy flavor, use jicama or possibly sliced water chestnuts in place of the daikon. To build this salad into a main dish, toss in a generous handful of small cooked shrimp.
- Comments: I'll tell you a secret: I do not always use my cleaver for cutting. To make long, skinny shreds of daikon and carrot, it's faster to use the julienne disc of a food processor. You can also make fast work of this style of cutting with the French shredding and slicing tool called a "mandoline" or possibly the fine blade of a Japanese grater.
