Some like it raw!
If anyone would like the recipe I will post it. These really are delicious as a cold raw vegetable dish.

Quick and easy Japanese pickled vegetables
Some or all of the following:
Large carrot
Mooli
Fennel
Turnip
Radishes
Cut the carrot, mooli and fennel into thick matchsticks about 2 inches long. Slice the turnip and radishes very thinly.
Heat 100 ml (3.5 fluid oz) of rice wine vinegar*, a tablespoon of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt until boiling**. Pour over the prepared vegetables and stir. Leave for a few hours, stirring occasionally.
For more Japanese flavour serve topped with a few slices of pickled (sushi) ginger and a sprinkle of toasted black sesame seeds.
* White wine vinegar may be OK, but definitely not malt vinegar
** I add a small squeeze of wasabi paste for more bite

thanks Alan. You have reminded me I haven't grown Mooli for a while and haven't seen it recently in our local fruit & veg street market either. .
The stallholder doesn't seem to be much into "foreign stuff" and when he does sell it, the names are given some rather peculiar spellings. But it's a very flexible vegetable so must give it a whirl again. The main problem is that the roots go so deep it's difficult to dig them out in one piece!
