Al Dente, Japanese

Thanks to Christy for letting me know exactly what I wanted to hear. She wrote:

"Ah! Finally a question I can answer! Al dente in Japanese - 'katame' or 'katame ni yuderu.'

If you have any left over daikon and need another recipe, maybe try kohaku namasu - its a salad with sweet-sour vinegar dressing made with daikon and carrots (the first part of the name means red and white because of the vegetables colors)."

I think I will!
