1,200ML WATER

5G KOMBU

120ML RICE VINEGAR

4G MALDON SALT

  1. Soak the kombu in 200ml water. After 30 minutes, you now have cold brew Kombu Dashi.
  2. Slice the daikon.
  3. Add the daikon slices to a bowl with vinegared water made from 1 tsp rice vinegar and 1 lt of water.
  4. Soak the daikon slices for 5 minutes to prevent them from changing colour and to remove the astringent taste.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine the kombu dashi (with the kombu), 120ml rice vinegar, 3 tbsp sugar, and 4gr Maldon salt.
  6. Turn the heat to medium and mix well.

  8. Add the daikon and cook for 6 minutes until soft.
  9. Leave to rest overnight.
