Stir-Fried Daikon

From Farmer John's Cookbook, The Real Dirt on Vegetables. This cookbook is a really great guide to eating seasonal vegetables. We have been getting a lot of strawberry daikon in our csa box and I needed a great way to use it up. This recipe is quite tasty. I add tofu to it and serve over brown rice. I leave out the oil and instead use a quick spray of oil on the wok. I add sake if the vegetables start to stick. Although I change the recipe to fit my diet, I'm posting as written. Show more
