Title: SMASHED RADISHES IN SOY DRESSING
Categories: Oriental, Vegetables, Salads
Yield: 8 servings

24 Fresh red radishes
2 ts Salt
1 ts White vinegar
1 ts Sugar
3 ts Thin soy sause
3 tb Peanut oil
1 ts Sesame oil
1/4 ts Fresh ginger juice
Chinese parsley for garnish

Remove heads and tails from radishes; wash. Using
bottom of heavy drinking glass, about 2" across base,
hit radishes on side to crack them - not mash them -
so dressing can get into flesh. Avoid rendering a
crushing blow no matter how you feel that day.
Sprinkle radishes all over with salt, put them in a
bowl, and set aside for about 15 minutes at room
temperature. Prepare dressing: Combine vinegar,
sugar, thin soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil and
fresh ginger juice. Double amount of vinegar for a
sharper taste, if desired. Drain liquid from radishes
(salt will have drawn off quite a bit of water); pour
dressing over them; cover and refrigerate for 3
minutes. If you make this dish ahead of time, pour on
dressing 30 minutes before serving. Immediately
before serving, transfer radishes to serving dish;
garnish with Chinese parsley and serve.
