Korean Daikon Radish Wrap with Vegetables

So, I guess I have thought in
the past about slicing a daikon radish thin to use as a wrap. But for some
reason, when my airbnb guests from Korea introduced this dish to me, it
seemed like a totally groovy new thing. I think what did it was the fact that
the daikon radish came already sliced into perfect round sheets, and
packaged. At first, I thought it was a gyoza (pot sticker) wrapper, but when
I saw that it was radish, I was pleasantly surprised. So, today we have a
couple of unwitting guest bloggers,  Hyoungwoo & Silhui
from Seol, Korea, and their super simple, daikon veggie rolls. I see these
being very versatile, stuffed with shrimp, seared tofu, smoked mushrooms, all
sorts of things. This recipe is just a basic veggie roll, just like the ones
that were prepared in my home the other day. The pickled radish has sugar, so
if you want to avoid that, make your own and use a healthier substitute for
the sugar, like stevia, or jaggery sugar. Besides that though, this is a great
way to get some raw, nutrient density into your body in a very simple and
delicious way. Read More


Rainbow Spring Rolls with Almond Sauce

I love it whenever I can take a

for example. Well, it may not really need pointing out, but this delightful
dish is…(drumroll)…raw!! Tah-dah!! This crowd pleaser, starring a handful
of raw plants, works well for your weekend Saturday lunch, an afternoon tea
party, or as an hors d’oeuvre for your evening get together.
