Namasu With Stevia

Mom's no-sugar namasu recipe using stevia.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cuisine: Japanese

Ingredients

  • ½ Daikon Japanese or Korean white radish, medium.
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1 Cucumber Medium.
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ½ c granulated stevia
  • ¼ c apple cider vinegar ¼ c + 1 tbsp.
  • 1 tsp hondashi

Instructions

  • For this namasu recipe, Mom used half of a Korean white radish, 1 cucumber, and 1 carrot. She used half for this stevia recipe (1.96 lbs) and the other half for a sugar recipe (1.23 lbs). If you'd like to use real sugar instead, see the notes below for the recipe.
  • Slice everything to bite-sized slices, about ¼-inch thick.
    Note: Mom always makes namasu by taste and this recipe was no different. Use these measurements as a guide and taste as you go to fit your palate.
  • Add in the salt, granulated stevia, apple cider vinegar, and hondashi. Mix everything with your hand until the flavor spreads out evenly. Store in fridge and let the flavor soak in overnight before eating.

Notes

  • You can eat this right away, but it tastes better when you let the flavor soak in for at least one day. The thinner you slice the vegetables, the less you have to wait.
  • If you'd like to make this recipe with real sugar, for 1.23 lbs of sliced vegetables, Mom used 1 tsp salt, 1/4 c + 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 c apple cider vinegar.
