- You can either use a slicer, or a knife.
- Put the turnip slices from Step 2 into a bowl, add 1 tablespoon salt, mix, then set aside for about 15 minutes.
- This is a lot of salt, but it will get rinsed off.
- Water will be released from the turnip.
- Gently rinse off excess water.
- At this point, the turnips should be well seasoned (with salt).
- Put them in a strainer, and leave them for a few minutes to drain excess water.
- If you don't have time, move on to the next step, however, the result may be slightly watery.
- In a large bowl, combine the seasonings: 3 tablespoons ground sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, then black pepper to taste.
- Be sure to thoroughly combine the turnip with the seasoning until the consistency is even.
- Transfer to a plate.
- Sprinkle on some black pepper to produce a flavor for the grown-ups that goes well with drinks.
