Ingredients

Carrots, medium 2 carrots
Daikon radish, use about a 1:1 ratio of carrot to daikon 1 radish
Toasted sesame oil 1 Tbsp
Rice vinegar –, see note 1 Tbsp
Garlic, grated or minced 1 clove
Ginger, peeled and grated 1 inch piece
Salt & pepper, to taste
Sesame seeds 1 Tbsp

Instructions

Clean and peel the daikon radishes and carrots. Using a vegetable peeler, ‘shave’ slices of the radish and the carrots. Place these in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil, vinegar, minced garlic clove, and grated ginger. Add some salt (¼ – ½ teaspoon) and pepper to taste. Combine the dressing with the sliced daikon and carrots, add the sesame seeds, and mix well. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Notes

If you don’t have rice vinegar, try substituting with freshly squeezed lime juice or apple cider vinegar. Start with ½ tablespoon and add more if needed, because lime juice and apple cider vinegar have a stronger taste than rice vinegar
