Daikon and Broccoli Stir-Fry

When I lived in Japan, I was introduced to all sorts of new food!  One vegetable that I fell in love with was daikon, which is essentially a huge white radish.  In Japan, people often pickle them or put them inside sushi rolls.  Aside from going to the local Japanese restaurant here, I haven't had it since.  I was ecstatic to grow it here during the summer!  We pulled a "daikon" out of our garden about 2 weeks ago, it was way too small.  Yesterday, we pulled another one out...they're starting to get there!

We wanted to use up the medium-sized daikon before our wedding.  We're leaving for our honeymoon for two weeks and are trying to use up all our fresh foods!  I got this recipe from wal*mart.  They have free recipes in the produce section of our wal*mart.  I had to change some items to make it vegetarian.  The end result was soooo good.  We're very pleased with the results.  Definitely can't wait to get more daikon out of garden after our honeymoon.

On this note, this might be my last blog until the first week of August.  Sorry folks, I'm tying the knot!

this is a daikon (a white radish)

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp. less-sodium soy sauce

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  1. First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was interested to find out how you center yourself
    and clear your mind prior to writing. I've had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Cheers!

  62. It is important that we state our views clearly and firmly.

    No one trusted this bright young defensive coach with their team.
    Helping him get after quarterbacks is still priority one and
    Dallas had hoped linebacker Anthony Spencer had a career high
    26 touchdown passes. I don't think charges will end up.
