  • Udon Vegetables

    Vegan Udon & Vegetable Soup

    I have been repeatedly cooking this thick and comforting Udon and Vegetable Soup recently. This dish is based on my ‘Monk’s Vegan Soup’ that is called ‘Kenchin-jiru’ in Japan. It is 100% plant-based soup, and it would taste better if you use more variety of ingredients. Thickening the Soup with Potato Starch is optional, but …

    ‘Kiriboshi’ Dried Daikon Salad

    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 …

  • Donburi (Rice Bowl) Pork

    Miso Daikon & Pork Rice Bowl

    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 …

    Grated Daikon & Pork Patties

    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 …

    White ‘Takuan’ (Pickled Daikon)

    ‘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 …

  • Prawn & Shrimp Vegetables

    Stir-fried Daikon & Dried Shrimps

    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 …

    Daikon, Wakame & Tuna Salad

    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 …

    Simmered Daikon with Soy Mince

    I often cook Daikon with Pork, sometimes with Pork Mince. Today I cooked the same dish with mince type Soy Meat. If you use plant-base Stock such as Kombu (Kelp) Dashi Stock OR Vegetable Stock, this dish can be Vegan. Enjoy with freshly cooked Rice. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1/2 cup (about 50g) Dry Soy …

    Fried White Fish with Grated Daikon & Ponzu

    ‘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. …

  • Miso Soup

    Grated Daikon Miso Soup

    This Miso Soup might look boring, but it is a very comforting soup. It is one of the traditional Japanese soups. It looks slightly thickened, doesn’t it? It actually is because of Daikon (White Radish) that is finely grated. To enjoy the delicate texture of the soup, I like to add soft Tofu to it. …
