‘大根おろし’ (Daikon Oroshi) is the Japanese name for finely grated Daikon (White Radish). It is often used as a sauce with ‘Ponzu’ OR Soy Sauce. ‘Beef Steak With Grated Daikon & Ponzu’ is just an example. This dish is very similar to ‘Fried White Fish with Spicy Ponzu Sauce’, but today I added grated Daikon. It’s very refreshing.
