Instructions

  1. Cut the daikon into quarter-round slices about 2/3 inch thick. Cut the pork into bite-size pieces.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot and cook the pork until it is no longer pink.
  3. Mix the dashi (or water), soy sauce, mirin and sugar very well.
  4. Add the daikon and the sauce mixture to the pot. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam if needed.
  5. Lower the heat, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  6. Uncover and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the daikon is nicely amber.
  7. Optionally, reduce further, or turn off the heat and let it sit in the pot for a while (overnight is even better) so it turns deep brown and tasty.
