I heard from a TV program that squid will turn out tender if you add it to water before boiling.So when making my "simmered daikon radish with squid" recipe I added the squid before boiling, and it came out very tender. Remember to add the squid before bringing everything to a simmer.The squid will be tough and chewy if you cook it over high heat for a long time.The taste penetrates into the daikon radish while cooling off, so cook it for 15-20 minutes, cool it off and warm it up again before serving.If you prefer a strong taste, adjust it by adding more mentsuyu.

Squid makes a deep flavored and fragrant broth. And the daikon radish absorb it very well. When it gets cold, the broth soaks into the daikon radish. So heat it when you eat.

It's our family's staple dish using the combination of taro root, daikon radish, and squid.If you simmer the squid too long, it gets hard, so please take it out after getting the dashi from it. I kept a little bit of sticky texture from the taro root by omitting the parboiling process. Recipe by Midofadobeshi

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.

This is a dish that I've been making at home for years. Because the ingredients are boiled after cooking in sesame oil, they are left with a rich and delicious flavour. Here is another recipe for "Simmered Daikon Radish & Tebasaki Chicken Wings".During Step 1, the daikon radish will be hot when it comes out of the microwave so please be careful. Please adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar used to your taste.I used 1/3 of a daikon radish. If you're making this recipe for 4 people adjust the amounts to: 1/2 daikon radish (800 g), water 400 ml, soy sauce 3 tablespoons, cooking sake 2-3 tablespoons, mirin 2 tablespoons, and sugar 1-2 tablespoons.Shredded white leek also works well in this recipe.

We've been making this recipe in our home for a long time. I added vinegar to make it a good recipe for summer.Parboiling the daikon radish (for 5-6 minutes in the microwave) before cooking it in the pan helps it absorb the flavors. Adjust the amount of vinegar to taste. You can add green onions, if you want. Make sure to stir while it's simmering. You could also make this without the vinegar and it will still be delicious.

I love amberjack and daikon radish. I adapted this recipe using a recipe from a book and my recipe that I've been making for a long time.*If the smell of the amberjack bothers you, you can blanch it first before cooking it in the frying pan. Cooking it in the pan first seals in the umami flavor and makes it more delicious.*When parboiling the daikon radish, boil it for 5 minutes from the time the water starts to boil. I use aluminum foil for the otoshibuta (dropped lid). Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
