How do I slice the daikon radish thinly enough for the rolls?

Use a mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife to achieve uniform, long, thin strips, about 1/16th of an inch thick, for easy rolling.

What is galangal and can I substitute it?

Galangal is a root similar to ginger but with a more citrusy, piney flavor. If unavailable, fresh ginger can be used as a substitute, though the flavor profile will differ slightly.

What are shiso leaves and are they essential?

Shiso leaves are aromatic Japanese herbs with a unique minty, basil-like flavor. While they add a distinct taste, you can omit them or use a small amount of fresh mint or basil if preferred.

How can I prevent the avocado from browning in the filling?

The lemon juice in the dressing helps prevent browning. You can also prepare the filling just before assembling the rolls to maintain freshness.

How should I store leftover Summer Daikon Rolls?

These rolls are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day, but the daikon may soften and the filling might weep.

How to Prepare Summer Daikon Rolls with Avocado and Micro Greens [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, galangal, and lemon juice and set aside.
Layout the daikon sheets on a tray or work surface. Place 1 shiso leaf on each daikon sheet.
Mix the avocado, cucumber, snow pea shoots, and mint in a bowl. Stir in the lemon dressing. Divide the mixture equally among the daikon sheets, positioning the mix at one end of each length. Roll up each daikon sheet tightly, pushing the roll away from you.
Transfer the rolls to a serving plate, garnish with the sprouts, and use a tablespoon to sprinkle the yuzu juice over the top.
