Description
A flaky bite size bowl of rice with yellow pickled daikon radish topped with toasted sesame seeds. This appetizer has a little bit of tang, a little bit of crunch, a whole lot of flavor!
Ingredients
8 ounces daikon radish
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 packages (15 count, each) Athens® Phyllo Shells
1 cup rice, cooked
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 cup nori, (optional)
Directions
Peel daikon and cut in half lengthwise. Using a mandolin or knife, thinly slice both pieces of daikon into half circles. Combine sugar, salt, vinegar and turmeric in a glass container or Ziploc bag. Close tightly and allow to pickle in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

Tips
-While pickling, the daikon develops a very strong aroma.
-Plan ahead, daikon needs to pickle for at least 24 hours. Short on time? Purchase pickled daikon wherever Asian foods are sold.
-For added crispness, preheat oven to 350°F. Place empty shells on a baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes. Cool and fill.
