Instructions

– Use a deep skillet and turn the heat to high. Add 1 tbsp butter, dashi, soy, mirin, sugar and bring to boil.
– Add daikon and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes uncovered, turn them over every 10 minutes, to coat evenly.
– Test tenderness by sticking a for or knife in the center of a daikon piece. There should be no resistance.
– By now, there should be little broth left and the daikon should begin to caramelize. Add the remaining 1 tbsp butter, stir welll (moving the daikon around).
– Add a small square of cheese on top of each piece, cover with a lid and cook for one minute, until cheese has melted.
– Turn the heat off and immediately transfer daikon to a plate. Top with chopped scallions and serve hot.
