Tip
Daikon skin can be thicker than you think. Peel slightly more than you normally do with other root vegetables such as carrots and turnips.
FAQ
This stew can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days, covered tightly. Heat up in a saucepan over the stovetop, or microwave to reheat.
Of course! Sliced onions, chopped bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms (or baby portobellos) are my other favorites.
