Ingredients
1 medium daikon radish (about 4 ounces), peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise into 18 pieces
3 scallions, white part only, halved lengthwise, bottoms left intact
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Coarse salt
1 small head napa cabbage (about 12 ounces), cored and finely shredded (about 6 cups)
1 lotus root (about 2 ounces), peeled, rinsed and thinly sliced crosswise into 18 pieces
8 ounces silken tofu, drained and cut into six 2-inch cubes
Preparation
Place daikon and scallions in a large bowl filled with ice and water.
Whisk together mirin, vinegar, oils, and a generous pinch of salt.
Place cabbage in a large bowl, and toss with half of the dressing. Divide among plates. Top with 3 slices each daikon and lotus root, a tofu cube, and a fanned-out scallion half. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
