This goes well as a side dish with rice and is quick and easy. Since daikon radish is cheap, I make large batches of this.

To use as a bento item, simmer off all of the liquid. Add red chili peppers to taste. If you add them whole (without slicing them), it will give the broth a gentle, spicy edge. Recipe by Nonbiriharumimushi.
