Step 1
Cut daikon, lotus root, cucumber and eggplant into small rectangular shape of 1cm x 1.5cm/⅜” x ⅝", 1-2mm/1⁄16" thick.
Step 2
Place eggplant pieces in water to prevent them from browning due to oxidisation.
Step 3
Add all the vegetables and ginger to a large bowl and sprinkle salt over the vegetables. Using both hands, mix well so that the salt coats the vegetables evenly. Leave it for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Add water to the bowl of vegetables, then drain. Taking a handful of vegetables at a time, squeeze the water out as much as possible and put all the vegetables into the sauce pan.
Step 5
Add all the Marinade ingredients to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
Step 6
Turn the heat off and cool it down (it is OK to be slightly warm).
Step 7
Transfer the vegetables and the marinade to a zip lock bag. Put the konbu in the bag as well.
Step 8
Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal the zip.
Step 9
Marinate in the fridge for 24 hours. Drain and serve as needed (note 3).
