    White ‘Takuan’ (Pickled Daikon)

    ‘Takuan’, Japanese Pickled Daikon, is commonly coloured yellow, but this quick and easy ‘Takuan’ is not coloured. I actually like this natural version better.

    Stir-fried ‘Takuan’ (Pickled Daikon)

    My mother used to pickle a lot of Daikon in a very large container every year. She shared her ‘Takuan’ (Pickled Daikon) with our neighbours.
