Different varieties of this large white radish are grown throughout Asia. It's sweet, spicy and delightfully crunchy when raw. Its hardiness and ability to absorb flavor when cooked makes it one of my favorite vegetables to braise. In Japan, daikon is often braised in dashi. Here I use it as a beef replacement in a traditional hearty dish. Serve this with some polenta and you have a bowl of comfort.
