Radish Flowers

Yesterday we were at the store getting ingredients for our weekly sushi night, when we saw radishes.  The only time I've ever gotten radishes before is when I had guinea pigs (guinea pigs love radishes), but my mom said that we should get some and make radish flowers to decorate the sushi!

When we got home I looked up a tutorial for making radish flowers, and found this one: Red Radish Waratah Flower.  I love this channel's tutorials and will definitely be using them in the future!  The steps to making this flower are a little hard to explain in writing, so I recommend watching the video for the full tutorial.  Soaking the completed flowers in ice water for several hours is a very important step, it's what makes the flower open up to its fullest extent.

 

I used several of my radish flowers to garnish my sushi along with some iced green onions (you can find the recipe for my safe sushi here).  I definitely recommend making multiple radish flowers, just incase some of them break.
