I think I am correct, Luo bo or Chinese radish.

Can you please suggest some recipes for using it, my local market in UK now stocks it each week.
When I had it in China last time it was with braised pork which was really nice and also a cold starter or appetiser with a little chilli and lots of rice vinegar.

stew mutton or lamb with luo bo together. It's a good one and easy to make. And at the same time, nutritious and healthy. Hope you like it, Dave^-^
