Ingredients

  • 15 cm worth Daikon radish
  • 200 grams Ground pork
  • 1 small piece Grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Mirin
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Cooking sake
  • 200 cc dashi soup stock (Or 1 tablespoon of Bonito based soup stock )
  • 1 ratio of 1 tablespoon per serving Potato starch dissolved in water (water + katakuriko)

Method

  • Cut the daikon radish into easy-to eat-bits I used the rangiri (method of cutting at an angle and turning the daikon 90 degrees between cuts) style in the photo above.
  • Put the ingredients marked with along with the daikon radish, ground pork, and ginger into the pot.
  • Cover it with aluminum foil after giving it a quick stir and stew at medium heat, removing the scum in the process.
  • Boil it over a low heat for about 20 minutes until the broth has evaporated a bit and the daikon radish has taken on its flavor, add in the katakuriko dissolved first in cold water, and cook until it thickens.
  • Let it sit for a while to let the flavors meld.
