Trivia
[For Health Conscious] #32 'Weight-loss ingredient'. Dried daikon is a god-tier ingredient overwhelmingly denser in calcium/fiber than raw daikon. Taiwan bentos staply include 'Caipu (salted dried daikon)'; stir-fry-simmering Japanese dried daikon with five-spice synthesizes a rivaling intense 'rice thief' for pennies.
