Fried Dashi Rice with Shrimp and Miso-Butter Radishes

Fried Dashi Rice with Shrimp and Miso-Butter Radishes umi filled meal of dashi and miso to complement shrimp fried rice and butter radishes. A delicious twist on fried rice that is a crowd-pleaser and is an easy fried rice recipe. 

Yup, you read the title correctly; umi filled dashi and miso all together for dinner. Get in my belly. (I had to write that at some point).

Fried rice feels like a guilty pleasure but if done at home, it’s much healthier and can be topped with fresh vegetables (galore in our case ?).

I really love the idea of radishes but I’m often left without inspiration for using them cooked. This was a great method to incorporate this peppery veg into our meal. I’ll be looking for ways to do so again in the future.

Do you has a favourite way of cooking radishes? I’d love to hear about it.
