Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the daikon into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices, then into 1/4-inch wide strips for thick julienne. Having them about 1/4 inch gives a nice texture.
- 2
Julienne the carrot thinner than the daikon, about 1/8 inch thick.
- 3
Cut the fried tofu in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch wide strips.
- 4
Cut the pork into 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide strips.
- 5
Heat a pot, add oil, and stir-fry the daikon and carrot over medium heat.
- 6
Once they start to soften, add the fried tofu and pork, and continue stir-frying.
- 7
Add the seasonings from A, cover, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer for 10 minutes. The moisture from the daikon should make it just right.
- 8
Let it cool for a while to allow the flavors to meld for better taste.
※ I also make the dishes by hand♪

Actually…
There's a quick version too♡
When super busy, I go with this one♪ - 10
If you peel the daikon with a peeler, you can julienne it quickly with a slicer like this♪
Be careful not to hurt yourself. - 11
Do the same with the carrot.
If you have thick and thin options, use the thin one. - 12
This version becomes very soft, like dried daikon, and is also delicious.
Both cutting and cooking are quick!

Chicken drumettes are delicious and cheap so I buy them frequently. You can cook chicken drumettes with many different ingredients, however this time I tried making it with daikon and atsuage.If you are using the water leftover from washing rice, you just need enough so that the daikon is submerged.If you don't have leftover rice water, then simply add 1 tablespoon of rice and boil it.When it's simmering, be sure to keep an eye on it, and adjust the heat as necessary.This time I used a medium sized daikon that was about 15cm long.

Stir-fried and Simmered Daikon Radish, Pork, and Atsuage Stir-fried and Simmered Daikon Radish, Pork, and Atsuage
One whole daikon radish is just a little too big to use all at once isn't it?I thought of a simple recipe that can use any leftover daikon radish you have. I think it would also make a great side dish served with drinks.If you simmer the stir-fry for a short amount of time, the vegetables will have a crunchy texture. If you simmer for a long time, the flavors will soak in well. So do whatever you prefer.If you prefer it to be sweeter, you could increase the amount of mirin a little.If you like a rich flavor, try using pork belly. If you're worried about the calories, you could maybe try substituting the atsuage with firm tofu. Make sure to drain the tofu. For 2 servings. Recipe by Chimatsu cookpad.japan -
Sweet & Spicy Fried Tofu with Grated Daikon Radish Sauce Sweet & Spicy Fried Tofu with Grated Daikon Radish Sauce
I loved my mum's deep-fried tofu in dashi but deep-frying or making dashi was too much work. I have left out several steps from my mum's original recipe and I arrived at my own recipe. This recipe is now my husband's favorite.I use slightly firm silken tofu. If you don't have any shiso leaves you can use scallions instead. In that case, sprinkling on shichimi chilli mix will enhance the flavor. Recipe by rokuro cookpad.japan -
Stir-Fried and Simmered Eggplants, Green Beans and Deep-fried Tofu Stir-Fried and Simmered Eggplants, Green Beans and Deep-fried Tofu
This is a simmered dish that my mother made when I was small. When I was young, I found it less appetizing because the green peas and aburaage were drenched in the color of the eggplants. Now this is the sort of Japanese flavor that makes me homesick when I am overseas. I tried to reproduce this nostalgic dish by asking my mother for instructions.1. Make sure to chop the eggplants into large pieces. They break apart and dissolve if they are too small.2. Stir-fry the green beans first so that the eggplants don't soak up too much oil.3. My mother's simmered dishes - like this one - uses high heat and needs to be flavored quickly, so make sure to check the amount of water in the pan occasionally.4. If the flavor is allowed to soak in too long, the color may become less appetizing. Recipe by PARNELL cookpad.japan -
