1/4 cup dashi (Japanese fish stock)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
SALAD
1 pound upper part daikon, julienne cut in 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon salt

several drops soy sauce
strips lemon peel or yuzu, to garnish
mint leaves, to garnish
directions
DRESSING: In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, dashi, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes.
SALAD: In a medium bowl, combine the daikon and the salt and toss well. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Transfer the daikon to a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water. Squeeze the daikon. It should taste faintly salty. If it's too salty, repeat the rinsing and squeezing.
Combine the daikon, persimmon and dressing. Chill in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
