- 7 slice of Daikon radish, each 2 cm thick
- Cut the fish fillets into 2 to 3 pieces, sprinkle with salt, and leave for 30 minutes.

- I didn't use the ara (head and bones) of the amberjack this time.
- If you are using them, treat them in the same way as the fish fillets.
- Slice the daikon radish about 2 cm thick.
- Peel, and shave off the sharp edges.

- Add the B. ingredients, and coat the fish with the broth.
- Add the daikon radish and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
- When the daikon radish turns a light caramel color add the C ingredient, and simmer for a little bit longer on high heat.
