Summer Oden Hot Pot with 'Salt'
- 300 grams Pork shoulder block
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt (with a good quality)
- 1/2 Daikon radish
- 2 Japanese leek
- 1 big knob Ginger
- 1000 ml and plus Water
- 1 tsp Japanese dashi stock powder (optional)
- How to prepare salt pork: rub the pork with salt evenly and wrap with cling film very tightly.
- Leave to rest for 3 days.
- I recommend you using shoulder or fillets because of less fat.
- After 3 days peel off the cling film.
- How to seal in the umami Heat a little oil in a frying pan and brown all over.
- How to get rid of the excess salt and fat Add water to cover the pork in the frying pan and bring to the boil.
- After bringing to the boil take out the pork into a pot.
- How to cook the daikon Peel the skin of daikon and shave the sharp edges off the daikon.
- Make criss cross incisions on the surface and put in a dish.
- Wrap roughly with cling film and heat in a microwave for 3 minutes.
- Cook the oden hot pot Add the daikonn, sliced ginger and green part of Japanese leek into the pork pot.
- Put the water and bring to the boil.
- After bringing to the boil skim off any scum and add the stock powder.
- Cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes turn off the heat and take out the green part of the leek.
- Add the white part of the leek which are cut roughly and cover with a lid.
- Simmer over a low heat for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes turn off the heat and let it sit with a lid on for one hour.
- Open the lid and it will look very tasty.
- Take out the pork and slice into the thickness you like.
- Return the pork to the pot and reheat.
- After the pot is hot enough, serve.
- For the first serving, I eat it as is and have plenty of soup.
- For the second I will serve with a little yuzu pepper paste.
