Simmered Daikon Radish, Tuna and Fried Tofu

This has been a standard dish for my family since my kids were small. I had some daikon leftover from making oden, but this daikon tuna was eaten all up.
You can substitute the soy sauce for mentsuyu. Adjust the flavor with sugar since the sweetness differs by brand.
You could add chikuwa, or without aburaage. Recipe by Eru912

Cooking Instructions
- 1
This is my preferred brand of canned tuna. It's white meat, so it doesn't have that strong fishy odor.
- 2
Peel the daikon radish and cut (round slices, half moons, chunks). Place into a pot. Fill the pot with water until just covering the daikon radish (about 400 ml) and turn on the heat.
- 3
Cut the aburaage and add to the pot. Drain the oil from the canned tuna by pushing down on the open lid to squeeze it out.
- 4
When the water begins to boil, add the * ingredients and the tuna. Simmer on medium-low heat until the daikon radish becomes tender, and then it's done.

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 -

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 -
