instructions
    1

    Begin by grating the kohlrabi, daikon, and carrot into thin strips. You can use a box grater or a food processor for this. This step should take about 10 minutes.

    2

    Once grated, place all the vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the salt to draw out excess moisture.

    3

    While the vegetables are resting, prepare the nuoc cham sauce. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of nuoc cham, the juice of 1 lime, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

    4

    After 10 minutes, drain any excess liquid released by the vegetables, then add them back to the bowl.

    5

    Pour the nuoc cham sauce over the vegetables and toss everything together gently until well combined. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    6

    Finally, toss in the chopped cilantro and top with crushed peanuts for added crunch just before serving. Enjoy your Gỏi Đu Đủ immediately for the best texture!
