Kids Love This! Simmered Cucumber & Daikon Radish
Apparently this is a very popular dish on the kindergarten lunch menu.
I tried recreating the dish relying on what my kids remembered about it, and the school lunch menu. Using usukuchi soy sauce retains the vibrant colors of the vegetables. It's lightly seasoned, so you can adjust the flavor by adding more bonito flakes or adding more soy sauce at the end.
This tastes great with just cucumber too.
Quickly boiling the vegetables keeps the color vibrant, removes any impurities, and makes it easier to eat.
When draining the water, don't tightly wring out the moisture in order to save the delicious texture of the vegetables.
My family always uses a larger amount of bonito flakes. It will probably taste best if you top with some at the end. Recipe by riehom

Easy Simmered Daikon Radish and Soft Boiled Eggs Easy Simmered Daikon Radish and Soft Boiled Eggs
I just came up with this, using what I had in my kitchen.You can use atsuage instead of fish paste sticks if you like.If you would prefer the eggs to have a stewed texture, don't simmer them, just let them cook on residual heat. The dashi stock will give them a nice color. This is also nice made with chicken wings. See.Step 1: Parboil the radish in the microwave for 3 minutes. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your liking.Step 2: If you would like the eggs to have a stewed texture, shorten the boiling time.Step 3: Let it simmer with the lid on. The flavours will blend deliciously when it cools down, so let it cool, then reheat before eating. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Tender Simmered Daikon Radish with Squid Tender Simmered Daikon Radish with Squid
I heard from a TV program that squid will turn out tender if you add it to water before boiling.So when making my "simmered daikon radish with squid" recipe I added the squid before boiling, and it came out very tender. Remember to add the squid before bringing everything to a simmer.The squid will be tough and chewy if you cook it over high heat for a long time.The taste penetrates into the daikon radish while cooling off, so cook it for 15-20 minutes, cool it off and warm it up again before serving.If you prefer a strong taste, adjust it by adding more mentsuyu.

Simple Simmered Daikon Radish & Pork Belly Simple Simmered Daikon Radish & Pork Belly
This is a dish that I've been making at home for years. Because the ingredients are boiled after cooking in sesame oil, they are left with a rich and delicious flavour. Here is another recipe for "Simmered Daikon Radish & Tebasaki Chicken Wings".During Step 1, the daikon radish will be hot when it comes out of the microwave so please be careful. Please adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar used to your taste.I used 1/3 of a daikon radish. If you're making this recipe for 4 people adjust the amounts to: 1/2 daikon radish (800 g), water 400 ml, soy sauce 3 tablespoons, cooking sake 2-3 tablespoons, mirin 2 tablespoons, and sugar 1-2 tablespoons.Shredded white leek also works well in this recipe.

Comforting Simmered Daikon Radish, Carrot and Aburaage Comforting Simmered Daikon Radish, Carrot and Aburaage
This is an easy, delicious and mild simmered dish. I think I've been making this dish for about 20 years for my family.When you julienne daikon radish and carrots with a slicer, they tend to become very limp when cooked. I like to cut them by hand as I think it tastes better with thicker strips. (But I added the quicker version at the end of this recipe )Cutting the daikon radish diagonally is my preferred style.It's delicious with satsuma age (deep fried fishcake) instead of pork. For 4 servings. Recipe by Junchan -

Refreshing Simmered Pork, Daikon Radish, and Carrot Refreshing Simmered Pork, Daikon Radish, and Carrot
We've been making this recipe in our home for a long time. I added vinegar to make it a good recipe for summer.Parboiling the daikon radish (for 5-6 minutes in the microwave) before cooking it in the pan helps it absorb the flavors. Adjust the amount of vinegar to taste. You can add green onions, if you want. Make sure to stir while it's simmering. You could also make this without the vinegar and it will still be delicious.

My Family's Easy Simmered Amberjack & Daikon Radish My Family's Easy Simmered Amberjack & Daikon Radish
I love amberjack and daikon radish. I adapted this recipe using a recipe from a book and my recipe that I've been making for a long time.*If the smell of the amberjack bothers you, you can blanch it first before cooking it in the frying pan. Cooking it in the pan first seals in the umami flavor and makes it more delicious.*When parboiling the daikon radish, boil it for 5 minutes from the time the water starts to boil. I use aluminum foil for the otoshibuta (dropped lid). Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -
