Thank you for featuring this recipe on January 12, 2013! Enjoy this simple Japanese-style curry with daikon and pork. The story behind this recipe: I had some extra daikon and decided to add it to curry. My husband might even like it more than regular curry—he had three helpings (maybe too much, haha)!

Steps

1

Cut the daikon into large chunks or half-moon slices.
2

Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
3

Heat oil in a pot or large skillet. Add the pork and cook until browned. Add the daikon and stir-fry for 3 minutes over medium heat.
4

Add the amount of water specified on the curry roux box. Bring to a boil, skim off any foam, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
5

When a skewer easily pierces the daikon, turn off the heat and dissolve the curry roux into the pot. Once dissolved, turn the heat back to low and simmer for another 10 minutes.
6

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce at the end. Serve hot. Top with chopped green onions if you like.

This dashi soy sauce is delicious! It costs about 600 yen.
