Daikon

This mildly spiced kimchi can be made hotter by adding more ground chiles.

Furikake, a Japanese rice seasoning, adds subtle taste and texture to this salad. To make your own furikake, crumble 1 sheet of nori (toasted seaweed used to wrap sushi) and toss with 2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds and 1/4 tsp. sea salt.

If you don’t have a sushi mat to use for rolling, wax paper, or a clean kitchen towel works too.
