Shirataki isn't daikon. It's konyakku in Japanese or, in English,
konjac. Glucomannan is the commercial name. Picture of the plant from
which it comes at the bottom of the page. Most assuredly not daikon.

Thanks. Even less like a yam than a daikon is. I've seen daikon
listed as yam in some instances and I wasn't aware that the word
yam was used for other plants as well.

It is usually translated as mountain yam.

For this you will need:

Beef, chicken, or fish broth
A whole bulb of garlic
A bay leaf
2-3 whole cloves
A tsp of peppercorns
Oregano / thyme
Broad leaf parsley
Some very fresh eggs
Cold press olive oil
Lemon slices

Separate the cloves of a whole head of garlic. Lightly crush
each one to break the skin. Add to the broth in a pot along
with the bay leaf, cloves, pepper corns, and oregano/thyme.
Bring to a boil and simmer five minutes or so.

For each serving do
Break an egg in a largish cup or small bowl
Pour some olive oil over it
Strain boiling soup into the cup
Squeeze and add a lemon slice
Stir lightly with a spoon
Drink
Endfor

Bob's note: Great for hangovers.
