RECIPE: Pickled Plum's Smoked Takuan, Cheese and Cucumber Sandwich
“While most takuan is usually yellow in color and has a chemically sweet taste (that I still love!), this one is unique in that it’s been flavored with savory and smoky elements. The thin slices are very crunchy and pair nicely with other umami and savory ingredients such as cheese and soy sauce based dishes. It can also be used as pickles for sandwiches and burgers.” - Pickled Plum
