Steps

1

This daikon radish was 98 yen! For stewed dishes, use the top 2/3. Use the bottom for grated daikon and other dishes.
2

Chop the daikon roughly into 3-4 cm thick slices.
3

Although it's hard to see, the 5 mm of flesh just beneath the skin has a different grain from the inner flesh. Thickly peel the outer layer.
4

Don't hesitate and peel thickly!
5

Use the skin to make kimpira or other such dishes. Stir-fry with seasonal sweet potatoes..
6

Shave off the edges to round them!
7

Make a shallow cut about 1 cm deep in a cross pattern on the narrower end of each (this will be the bottom).
8

For those who have more experience, make a lattice pattern. (Although it may be hard to see, the daikon has a cross cut).
9

Add the daikon and rice to the pot with plenty of water.
10

Bring to a boil! Then, simmer on a low heat (don't cover with a lid).
11

Slowly cook through for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
12

Pierce with a skewer, and if it easily pokes all the way through, it's done! Soak in water, and rinse well to remove any starchiness.
13

Now you're done prepping the daikon!
