winter comfort food. one of my favourites is chinese radish or daikon because of its clean sweetness. perfect in hotpot and braised dishes, and in radish steamed cake as well of course!

a while ago i was looking for some radish in a korean grocery shop and all i could find were massive-sized green radish. and i thought... thats not daikon, thats green radish, the ones we use in red carrot and green radish soup! just that its... massive?! so i went to another grocery shop, also a korean one, but found the same thing =.= then i thought, thats not right. koreans eat loads of daikon!! pickled and in hotpot. so i bought one home, only to find that it IS a daikon! hehe, apparently the skins of the korean ones are green whilst the chinese ones are white :) taste wise, i think they are pretty much the same.
