What do you daikon radish for? Or make with it?
I used half a daikon radish to make some pickled carrots and daikon for dinner, Vietnamese style. I usually make kkakdugi (Korean kimchi style radish), but I only like to do that during the summer because I use the hose to rinse it off real well, plus I gift it all to my parents--I don't like it!
Any ideas for the rest of this massive radish?

I'm assuming you are Korean (like me). Do you have dried anchovies and dashima? You can make a stock with those plus daikon, some garlic cloves and onion.

I've used it as a substitute for Korean radish in soups/stews! It's a little more delicate but still works!

@mrsmate, nope, i don't have either! i'm only 25% korean and can count the recipes I make on one hand 
@bunnylove08, that's basically what we're having tonight! Well, sans bread. bahn mi lettuce wraps!
Maybe a good noodle soup would be nice. It is still winter, after all. I could make chicken broth on Sunday, then use the leftover chicken for enchiladas or something next week.

I make beef radish soup (moo guk) and galbi jjim (short ribs), but would love to find new uses for it as well! It's so big, I end up with so much left over

i make moo gook (korean daikon soup) and add daikon to miso soup!

okay, everyone's talking about moo gook, gotta try it! is it very radish-y tasting? I'm worried I'd make a whole pot and DH wouldn't be into it.

@blackbird: that looks so freaking good! Can you share the recipe you used? I'm full Korean but have a hard time copying my moms recipes bc she just wings it...I like a written out recipe. I've never tried kal-bi jjim... Was it easy?

@blackbird: That looks good! I like moo gook...the radish becomes kind of sweet and not radishy at all!

I used this one! http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/galbijjim and i added a chopped up kiwi to the dish. I couldn't bring myself to use corn syrup to sweeten it. It was easy but definitely something to do on a weekend when you're home, b/c it has numerous steps, you have to stir it now and then, etc. I started it at 2:30pm and we ate around 5:30, but it was leisurely and i just kind of kept going to the kitchen every 30 min to rinse the pot or stir it or whatever.
@spaniellove, yes, i was really surprised that it wasn't radish-y tasting. Dh wasn't super keen on it, but I think next time I will add potatoes for him.

@blackbird: can you share your recipe for pickling the daikon and carrots? I tried making some last summer and it was horrible!
honeydew / 7916 posts
@blackbird: Oh interesting, I'm pretty sure that's the recipe I use (since I use her recipes for everything unless I'm using a cookbook) but I've always added potato and never mushrooms. Sometimes I substitute agave nectar for corn syrup in these recipes. It's not exact but you Korean recipes are all about winging it.

@blackbird: I use that recipe for galbi jjim and it turns out so good! One time I even cut my veggies into cute tiny balls like her and decided it was too much trouble to continue doing that
I have a daikon in my fridge and I'm planning to make gukbap with it
honeydew / 7916 posts
@T-Mom: Haha I remember trying that. Cute, but what a waste of time and perfectly good vegetables! What exactly is gukbap?
honeydew / 7488 posts
@spaniellove: Well, the way my korean friends (i'm only honorary Korean, haha) made gukbap, it was a huge hunk of beef boiled for soup, and then boiled with the daikon radish slices. And then the beef was shredded and seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, scallion, red pepper flake.. And served with the soup and rice..I might not be remembering the exact name right!

This one. I salted them for a half hour or so first. And this was too sweet for us. Next time, I'll ise less sugar
