We had a hard freeze the 4th week of December, 2022 and I still have many vegetables in my refrigerator   When I saw the bag of 3 daikon radishes, I knew I needed to deal with them right away. I have been putting them in salads all week, but they are spicy so this is slow. But, when you cook daikon radishes they loose their spiciness and are quite mild and delicious. so I decided to cook a Japanese style soup with them, The soup came out so good I made it again 2 days later. I decided to use gram measurements since I just bought a new kitchen scale. If you like you can add more veggie broth.
