Daikon Curry
Daikon, or Japanese white radish, is one of my favorite curry ingredients. When cooked, daikon has a delicious earthiness combined with mild sweetness. Add that to the traditional spices of curry and Japanese flavors like soy sauce and mirin, and you get the perfect Japanese-style curry!
Ingredients
Here’s what you will need for this curry:
- daikon and its leaves
- coconut oil
- onions
- garlic
- vegan mince
- ginger
- curry powder
- garam masala
- ground turmeric
- chili powder
- kelp stock powder
- soy sauce
- mirin
Ingredient Notes
The daikon root and its leaves are both used in this recipe. The leaves are quite tasty and give the curry added texture, but some supermarkets sell daikon with the leaves removed. If you don’t have any daikon leaves, you can add spinach or kale instead.
For vegan mince, I use soy meat crumbles (TVP). I’ve also used mince from Naturli and Omnimeat for this recipe, and both were delicious.
Kelp stock, or Kombu dashi, is equivalent to veg stock/bouillon in Japanese cooking. It’s readily available at Japanese supermarkets and on Amazon. If you don’t have kelp stock, you can substitute it with veg stock powder.
Mirin is a slightly sweet Japanese rice wine that is a staple in Japanese cooking. If you don’t have Mirin, substitute it with 1 tbsp white wine or white vinegar and 1/2 tsp maple syrup.
How to make Daikon Curry
The recipe is fairly simple. All you need is one pot to cook the ingredients, and about 30 minutes.
Here are the basic steps:
- Sauté onion and garlic in coconut oil.
- Add daikon, vegan mince, and the spices. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring well.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, and cook for 20 minutes or until the daikon is tender.
- Serve with naan bread, or jasmine rice. Enjoy!

This was really yummy! I used textured pea protein for the mince. I used the leftover for tacos which was also delicious!
