( Braised daikon and tofu).

My maternal grandfather was vegetarian who inspired me to learn vegetarian cooking because he said when I was a little girl; I used to complain whenever we ate vegetarian food. :) At my house, four times a month, on the 30th, the 1st, the 14th and 15th every one eat only vegetarian food. Vegetarian food have come long way, many Khmer Krom vegetarian recipes are absolutely delicious. This braised daikon with tofu and carrot is very yummy with rice.
