Daikon Saute

This elegant root is a staple of Asian meals. It contains the enzyme diastase, which aids in the digestion of starchy foods-perfect for accompanying rice or other starches. Look for smooth-skinned daikon, with a pearly white sheen. Avoid those with flat color; they are not as fresh. Refrigerate daikon tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. Daikon is simple to prepare. Simply scrub with a brush and slice, dice or grate.
