Daikon root

I keep buying these and then eat them raw, but there must be different and more tasty ways to prepare them.  Suggestions?

I usually stirfry it or put it in miso soup. You can juice it too, it is spicy.

Julienned, I sprinkle sea salt on them, toss with seasoned rice vinegar to serve as slaw.

My favorite way.  I use a lot more nori ... cut up strips and cover the entire single layer of diakon with it but that's just because I love the soysauce soaked seaweed.  If you don't have mirin a T of brown sugar or even honey is fine too.

This sounds great.  I have 2.5 pounds of it, so I can try several suggestions here.

I like it julienned and tossed with ponzu dressing. I also have a complicated, but yummy, rice cake recipe for it. I'll dig it out tomorrow for you.

How about moo guk, aka Korean radish soup.
