DAIGO KIMCHEE {DAIKON}

There is nothing better than a good appetizer on your bbq gatherings or at a party function with a iced cold ice tea or coke. When we have a big gathering wether it be a wedding, christening or a fiesta we have large tupperwares filled with this appetizer. It is very simple to make. On a side note the daikon does poses a strong ordor. You need to get use to it because this appetizer is SOOOO addicting. You can acquire all these items on your local oriental store

You will need the following items:
Jar of kimchee base
daikon { must be firm not soft with no bruised edges } { thinly sliced and bathed in salt to let the water out }
Napa or Chinese cabbage  {sliced to your taste thin or chopped}
salad oil { for some reason just a tiny bit adds flavor }
Local hot pepper -doni { if you are fortunate to acquire this or use tabasco instead }

Steps:
drain bathed daikon in water and rinse well to make sure no salt is left
mix together with the napa cabbage
add kimchee base { just enough to saltrate thru the cabbage but not to soak }
add a little salad oil and mix again
add doni or tabasco
enjoy!

Notes:
Bathe : sprinkle salt on the sliced daikon , mix thru , set aside until it sweats or the water releases
Saltrate: don't over kill the kimchee base as it is spicy and salty
Doni : local hot pepper grown in the tropics mashed and mixed in with garlic or miso { miso is my best }
