1
Prepare the Vegetables
Peel the daikon radish and carrot. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the daikon and carrot into thin strips (about 1-2 mm thick).
2
Salt the Vegetables
In a bowl, combine the sliced daikon and carrot. Sprinkle with salt and toss well. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
3
Make the Dressing
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved.
4
Combine the Ingredients
After 10 minutes, rinse the salted vegetables under cold water and drain well. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine.
5
Season to Taste
Add pepper to taste and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
6
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the namasu to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley or shiso leaves. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
