Coconut Curry Daikon

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = New Ingredient!

To my knowledge, I’ve never used daikon in a recipe on here yet, so what better time than now to start?!

Daikon (also know as Chinese white radish, or “lobak” in Cantonese) is a mild-flavored winter radish. It basically looks like a ginormous white carrot, and has lots of vitamin C in it!

You may have noticed by now that I’m a huge fan of coconut and/or curry anything (in case you’re wondering, I love and adore Thai food), so why not combine the two to make Coconut Curry Daikon? This makes for a super easy, healthy + quick snack or appetizer! :] You can serve it over rice if you want!
