Chinese-Style Simmered Daikon Radish and Pork
- 1/2 Daikon radish
- 150 grams Pork offcuts or pork belly
- 1 Japanese leek (finely chopped)
- 600 ml Water
- 3 tbsp Sake
- 1 tbsp Chinese chicken stock powder
- 4 tsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 dash Sesame oil
- 1 appropriate quantity to thicken Katakuriko slurry
- Chop the daikon radish into chunks.
- Cook in sesame oil until golden brown.
- Cooking over high heat without agitating them.
- Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces.
- Once the daikon has slightly browned, add the pork.
- Once the pork browns, add water.
- Remove any scum and add the ingredients.
- Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until the daikon radish is tender.
- Make sure they're tender enough to poke all the way through with a skewer.
- Once the daikon radish is tender, add the chopped Japanese leek.
- Add the katakuriko slurry to thicken the sauce.
- Transfer to a serving plate and it's done.
- Simmered dishes soak up the flavor as they cool down, so, it tastes even better if you let it to sit before thickening the sauce, then reheat just before serving.
