Daikon Porridge

Published at 05/30/2025May 30, 2025 In Category Daikon Radishes, Recipes Tags: daikon radish, hot peppers, jalapenos, peppers, shrimp

I’ve been coveting a daikon and doing a little research and this recipe seems so simple and delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Basically it’s just rice, daikon and salt. Just the ticket if you’re feeling under the weather. And good news is that the daikon will keep, wrapped maybe in a damp dish towel, in your refrigerator for a month or two so if you don’t feel like porridge now, it will be waiting for you when you do. The recipe calls for daikon greens and sprouts so we’ll have to be creative, or wait and see if another bunch of radishes with their greens shows up in one of the last few boxes.

I’m also adding a recipe from purelyplanted.com for Gut-Nourishing Salad with Creamy Peanut Dressing which I know we will need both pre-and post-Thanksgiving’s crazy meals. Use your cabbage, daikon and greens from this week’s box to make that salad.

(2023) Chicken and Vegetable Donabe

Published at 02/05/2024 In Category Daikon Radishes, Napa cabbage, Recipes

I confess there’s still Napa cabbage from weeks past in our basement refrigerator. Instead of trying to cook a whole one at once, I’ve taken to just peeling off leaves as needed for a recipe. So the recipe below will probably only use 4 or 5 leaves. The rest of that cabbage will go back in the refrigerator and be joined by this week’s cousin. But that means we’ll have beautiful cabbage to enjoy through the rest of 2023. No complaints here.

(2021) Chicken Thighs with Crunchy Summer Veg

Published at 01/12/2022January 12, 2022 In Category Daikon Radishes, Radishes, Recipes Tags: collards, greens

I have this chicken thigh recipe that I’ve been wanting to try. It was in Bon Appetit. So most of my daikon this week will go into this recipe. The original called for cucumbers, too, but I’m just going with daikon. And one of those friends at dinner gifted me with a bunch of radishes (none this week in our box!) so that’s going in as well. It’s really just another version of pickled daikon!

(2021) Roasted Radishes with Yogurt-Tahini Sauce

Published at 01/12/2022 In Category Daikon Radishes, Recipes, Tomatoes Tags: collards, greens

Also including a recipe for roasted radishes. This is for a big batch – two pounds of radishes – but just adapt the idea to the little bunch you have if you’re already putting something in the oven. Also a recipe from America’s Test Kitchen. Love the yogurt dressing and the crunch of added nuts at the end. That dressing will be great on your lettuce, too.

(2021) Salt-and-Squeeze Slaw

That bok choy may be stumping you. For some of us, it’s a challenge to come up ideas several weeks in a row. I dug out this old recipe from Bon Appetit – a salt-and-squeeze slaw. You could use almost anything in today’s box. The recipe is down below.

(2020) Aluma Farm’s Veggie Pickles

Published at 03/24/2021 In Category Carrots, cauliflower, celery, Cucumbers, Daikon Radishes, garlic, green beans, Kohlrabi, Okra, Onions, Radishes, Recipes, Summer Squash, Turnips

Love that the Aluma Farm recipe helps you understand how much brine to make, depending on how many pickles you’re putting up. Really helpful for those of us pickling on the fly.

(2017) Shaved Turnip and Radish Salad

Published at 11/30/2017 In Category Daikon Radishes, Radishes, Recipes, Turnips Tags: daikon radish, radishes, turnips

If you’re not going to make turnip cakes, maybe you’ll want to try this recipe adapted from “My New Roots: Inspired Plant-Based Recipes for Every Season” by Sarah Britton. You could roast sweet potato cubes, or apple cubes!, to add to this salad. Yum.

(2017) Quick Pickled Vegetables

Published at 11/02/2017 In Category broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, cauliflower, Cucumbers, Daikon Radishes, Recipes Tags: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, daikon radishes, green beans, okra, peppers, radishes

From alexandracooks.com. She suggests using these as a pizza topping. You can try it with the peppers and even the green tomatoes from today’s box.

Kimchi

Published at 04/24/2017 In Category Blog, Cabbage, Carrots, Daikon Radishes, Napa cabbage, Recipes, Vegetables Tags: cabbage, carrots, daikon radish, Napa cabbage

Kimchi is traditionally made with Napa cabbage, and is a great way to use daikon radishes. If you only have “regular” cabbage – just substitute it for the Napa in the recipe.
The Korean chili powder is pretty essential. You can find it at the Buford Highway Farmers Market, but also at grocers that specialize in Korean foods.
The recipe comes from “Tart and Sweet” by Kelly Geary and Jessie Knadler. Add some sliced mustard greens if you like, that’s also a traditional addition.
