This dish is called ‘Oroshi-ni’ (おろし煮) in Japan, and a variety of fish can be used. My absolute favourite is Mackerel, but Salmon is also nice. You may prefer white fish such as Cod. If you don’t want to deep-fry Fish, you can shallow fry. The important part of the dish is the sauce, that …
When I make a Namul, I most likely cut vegetables into thin strips. However, if you use Daikon, chunky pieces are also great for crunchy texture. I recommend to season this Namul not too strongly, but Salt is essential. 1 teaspoon Salt looks a lot, but you are not going to eat it all. If …
Daikon (White Radish) and Pork are a great combination. I used them for a variety of dishes, but this is a simple soup that can be cooked with those two ingredients only. Of course you can add extra ingredients such as Carrot and Asian Mushrooms. It is a good idea to season the soup strongly, …
This is my easy version of ‘Oden’, a popular Japanese one-pot dish. My favourite ingredients in ‘Oden’ are Daikon, Konnyaku (Konjac) and Fish Balls. So, I just cook those three ingredients for this easy version. I recommend to cook this dish ahead of dinner time, and reheat before serving. Daikon and Konnyaku would taste much …
If you have seen the thinly sliced & dried Daikon (White Radish) at a grocery store, you might have wondered how to eat it. It is called ‘Kiriboshi Daikon’ (切り干し大根) in Japanese. Dried Daikon can be used just like fresh Daikon after rehydrated. My absolute favourite dish of ‘Kiriboshi Daikon’ is this crunchy salad, that …
Daikon and Pork are a great combination, and I often cook them together. I most likely use Soy Sauce, Sugar and Mirin to season them, but Miso is also good. Today I cooked just 1 serving for my lunch and made it into a rice bowl as I always eat it with rice. To cook …
This type of Soba Noodle dish doesn’t appeal to many people, but it DOES APPEAL to the Japanese!!! I always wonder why, but I do crave a Soba Noodle dish, particularly cold one, every now and then. My favourite topping is Kakiage Tempura, but I wanted something more refreshing today. Luckily, I had Daikon and …
I didn’t know until recently that there are people who are intolerant of Onions, Garlic, Leeks, Chives and Spring Onions. It must be very difficult to find the safe food for them because those vegetables are very popular and used for many dishes. Finely chopped Onion is most likely added to the meat patties. Do …
‘Takuan’, Japanese Pickled Daikon, is commonly coloured yellow, but this quick and easy ‘Takuan’ is not coloured. I actually like this natural version better. Some people prefer fairly sweet flavour, but I don’t like it too sweet. If you like sweeter flavour, just add extra Sugar. Makes 8 Servings Ingredients 12cm Daikon *about 250g after …
Stir-fried anything with Garlic & Chilli is delicious. Today I stir-fried Daikon with Garlic & Chilli, and I added Dried Shelled Shrimps that adds extra Umami to the dish. I used Salt to season it, but you may wish to use Soy Sauce instead, and that would be delicious, too. Makes 2 to 3 Servings …
This recipe is for 4 servings as a side dish, but you might think you should have made more. If you need only 1 or 2 servings, make this amount. You can store the leftover in the fridge, and the salad will still taste good next day. This ‘Daikon, Wakame & Tuna Salad’ is seriously …
My daughter told me that one of her good friends loves ‘Creamy Sesame Dressing’ so much and she eats all salads with the dressing. Well, ‘Creamy Sesame Dressing’ actually goes very well with any vegetables. Today I was making Daikon & Carrot ‘Namasu’, but I decided to dress it with Creamy Sesame Dressing. Because I …
