Ingredients

  • teaspoons sesame seeds black
  • tablespoons canola oil 
  • 1.5 pounds cucumber peeled
  • large daikon radish peeled
  • tablespoons rice vinegar 
  •  spring onion 
  • 0.5 pound sea bass fillets ends trimmed
  • tablespoons sesame oil toasted
  •  shiso leaves fresh finely chopped
  • teaspoon sugar 
  • tablespoons tamari sauce 
  • teaspoons sesame seed white

Equipment

  • bowl
  • knife
  • mandoline

Directions

  1. Cut the flesh of the cucumber into very thin noodle-like strips. Avoid the seeds by not cutting the very center of the cucumber. A mandoline works best, or use a knife and slice really thin.
  2. Cut the daikon into the same thin noodle-like strips. Here there are no seeds, so you can cut through the entire vegetable.
  3. Trim the roots of the scallions, then slice them into fine rings. Start at the white bottom and use about three-quarters of each scallion, until the leaves become much darker green and thicker.
  4. Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl to ensure they are well mixed, then add all of the vegetables. Toss to combine, then cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours or they will get mushy.
  5. Serve chilled.
