ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups cooked short-grain rice
- 3⁄4 cup shiitake mushroom, thinly sliced
- 1 1⁄2 cups daikon radishes, sliced as directed (about a four inch long chunk)
- 1⁄4 cup carrot, sliced as directed
- 1⁄2 cup wakame seaweed, soaked five minutes in cold water to cover, then chopped into one inch long pieces (discard soaking water)
- 5 5 cups chicken stock or 5 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons soy sauce
directions
- Peel the daikon and carrot, and slice into two-inch-long by one-half-inch wide ribbons that are no more than one-eighth-inch thick.
- The easiest way to accomplish this is by just using your vegetable peeler.
- In a stockpot or large saucpan, heat the stock over medium-high heat.
- Add the daikon and carrot, and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice, mushrooms and wakame, and bring to a boil again, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in salt and soy sauce and serve immediately.
- Be careful not to cook the rice too long; otherwise, it will end up the unappetizing consistency of glue.

This was pretty good! I felt like it was missing something though. I have a shellfish allergy so try to avoid fish altogether and used chicken stock; I think it would have been better with a vegetable stock or even a mushroom stock! I want to try to make it again because it was pretty easy. I might add something spicy to it next time.Reply

I've been wanting to try making something with daikon when I saw this recipe. It is excellent. I already had 2 1/2 cups of cooked jasmine rice from the other day and, when I couldn't find the seaweed at the grocery store, I just grabbed a seaweed salad from. The sushi counter and rinsed it. It worked, but I think they add food coloring to it and it gave the soup a green tint. It still tasted awesome!Reply
