• Soy sauce 2tbsp
• White vinegar 2.5tbsp
• Brown sugar 1 1/3tbsp
• Salt a pinch
• Mirin 1tsp

Preparation

1. Cut Hayanie Konbu into small strips.

2. Combine the sauce ingredients (the last 5 ingredients).

3. Soak Kiriboshi Daikon in water.

4. Julienne carrots and cucumbers. Salt them.

5. When water comes out of carrots and cucumbers and when Kiriboshi daikon is soft enough to eat, drain the water and lightly squeeze them.

6. Combine all ingredients and cool in the fridge.
