Asian radish?

[Sluggo]

One of my customers (Korean) offered me some asian radishes. He said they are great for making a rub for steraks and stuff before cooking them on a grill.

Anyone know more about these, and how you make a rub for meat with them?




My customer and myself have a little bit of a language barrier, so this is what I "THINK" we were talking about.

I'm guessing they're the same ones they use in Japan, and there they're called "daikon."

They are great for a lot of things, especially sauces. I wouldn't know about making a rub for them, that's a very Korean thing. The Japanese either eat them raw, pickled, cooked, or in soups and stuff.

Something you rub on a steak, like a paste-type marinade.

huh...good stuff, but can't say that I've ever heard the combination of it and steaks...let us know how it goes. I'll tell my mom if things go well. 🙂

I like to grate daikon and mix it with some ponzu (the citrus soy sauce). It makes a good dip for thin sliced meats (like in shabu-shabu).
