Description
Salty, fishy, and slightly spicy, daikon oroshi is a traditional Japanese side often found on izakaya menus.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 piece Mentaiko (spicy cod roe), sliced in half
- 4-inch daikon piece, peeled and grated
- Dash of soy sauce
- 2 shiso leaves, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Put the grated daikon in the palm of your hand and gently squeeze to drain some of the excess water. Do not drain until it’s dry – leave enough water for the grated daikon to be very moist.
- Divide the daikon between two small shallow serving bowls and place the mentaiko next to it.
- Top with shredded shiso leaves and drizzle a little soy sauce before serving.
Notes
Where to buy mentaiko: You can find mentaiko sold in Japanese supermarkets in the frozen section.
