Uses:

Lo Bok is a large oriental vegetable belonging to the same family as Daikon , a radish which often accompanies Asian dishes. The origin of this radish can be traced back to ancient China. A variety of Daikon, Lo Bok is crisp and juicy, with a sweet flavor and light colored skin. Shaped like a small football, Lo Bok ranges in length from 6 to 15 inches and can average 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Used pickled or raw, Lo Bok is also served as a condiment and can be grated and made into a heavy pudding called Lo Baak Gor.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

When selecting Melissa’s Lo Bok, look for well-formed, similarly shaped pieces. Lo Bok should be smooth, hard and free of soft spots or sprouts. Refrigerate, unwashed in a plastic bag for up to 10 days.

Lo Bok should be scrubbed with a brush under running water prior to use. Peel before using or grate with a sharp metal grater. Use raw in salads, as a garnish, or throw in a stir-fry.
