Red and white pickled vegetables

A fragrant red and white namasu (pickled daikon radish and carrots) served in a yuzu citrus fruit bowl. Let's make sure to use every part of the daikon radish. The daikon peel, which is usually thrown away, can be used to make dried daikon or kinpira (a Japanese dish of stir-fried vegetables). The key to making namasu is the ratio and the way you cut the vegetables. The visual ratio of daikon to carrots is 5:1. Be careful not to use too many carrots, as this will disrupt the balance of colors. Another important cutting technique is the "namasu cut." By cutting diagonally across the fibers, you can create namasu that is less likely to break while maintaining a crisp texture

How to make it
1

Peel the radish thickly

2

The remaining peels can be julienned and dried to make dried daikon radish

3

Cut the radish from step [2] in half lengthwise. Lay it on its side and slice it thinly horizontally with the knife held at an angle

4

After slicing it thinly, cut it into thin strips diagonally while still stacked. (Namasu style) Cut the remaining half of the daikon radish into thin strips in the same way

5

*If you find it difficult to cut the daikon radish into namasu (pickled daikon radish) slices, you can cut it in half lengthwise, then slice it thinly diagonally and julienne it to achieve a similar look

6

Cut the carrots into namasu slices, just like the daikon radish

7

Place the chopped daikon radish in a bowl, add a generous two handfuls of salt, rub it well to draw out the moisture, and let it sit for about 20 minutes

8

Similarly, put the carrots in a separate bowl, add salt, rub them well, and let them sit for about 20 minutes

9

For the five yuzu fruits to be used in the cups, cut off the tops and scoop out the insides

10

To make julienned yuzu peel, cut off the peel in wide strips, then use a knife held at an angle to scrape off the white pith attached to the peel before julienning it. Rub a small amount of sugar into the peel to soften it

11

Once enough moisture has been released from [8], wrap each in cheesecloth, rinse thoroughly to remove the salt, and squeeze out as much water as possible

12

Pour the dipping sauce into a pot and bring to a boil. (Don't boil it for too long, or the vinegar will evaporate. Turn off the heat when it's just simmering gently.)

13

Place the daikon radish, carrots, and yuzu peel in a bowl, add the pickling liquid from step [12], and mix

14

Place [13] into the yuzu shell, add the remaining juice, and garnish with the yuzu lid to finish

15

[Reference] If you have leftover radish peels, try drying them in a well-ventilated place for a few days using a sieve or similar. You can easily make dried radish strips this way
