Daikon, or white radish, is traditional to Asian cooking. It is a long white radish, and given its shape and color, has been called an “icicle radish”. It is extremely versatile in cooking. You can use it anywhere you would normally use a regular radish, and in some ways that are unique.
Another great soup recipe from The Victory Garden Cookbook by Marian Morash. It serves 4-6. Use 2 leeks (white and light green parts only) in lieu of scallions. For herbs, parsley, thyme, or tarragon is recommended.

Radishes are the root of a plant closely related to mustard (hence their bite). They come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors and are generally used as a garnish or salad ingredient because of their mild-to-peppery flavor. When cooked, they have a delicate flavor similar to that of white salad turnips. They can be cooked whole or thinly sliced, steamed with a bit of water (or vegetable stock) and butter. I’ve even seen a recipe for glazed whole radishes with a bit of brown sugar and butter.
