Reply #1: This is a tasty japanese salad..but you need a japanese market nearby

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1/2 lb of mixed japanese mushrooms...enoki, oyster and shitaki, (cooked either by sauteeing and draining or by toasting in toaster oven on foil with a dash of oil) cur up mushroom

5 julienned pieces of burdock root
1 cup jicima
1/2 cup japanese cucumber (or arabic cucumbers work too- anything with a thin peel)
1/4 cup radish sprouts

combine all above ingredients

For dressing use 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 2 tablespoons rice vingar...drizzle over salad and mix well

If you can find it there is a japanese herb called Mitsuba..this can be chopped for garnish..you can also use cilantro (about one tablespoon chopped)
