Braised pork belly and daikon radish has been always one of the side dishes I make, but I added some changes to the recipe a friend's mum showed me. I made it more substantial using my usual ingredients.

The daikon absorbs the flavour as it is cooled down. It tastes better when left to stand for a while than eaten straight away. It is nice if you cook boiled eggs together with it. If you heat the daikon for 2 to 3 minutes in a microwave beforehand you can cook the dish quickly. Recipe by Nokosandon

Cut the pork belly into bite size pieces and fry in a pan.
2

Cut the daikon into about the same thickness (about 1.5 cm) quarter rounds as the pork and fry together with pork.
3

Fry until the daikon is browned (nice and crispy).
4

Grate the ginger and combine with other sauce ingredients (Do not use too much red chili. It might be too spicy.)
5

Pour over the combined the Step 4 sauce ingredients into the pan.
6

Cook for a while until the daikon is tender (add water if necessary).
7

When the daikon is tender, it is done. Very nice with rice! Boil eggs together with it and it will be good!
