Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pound daikon, peeled and cut 2-inch thick discs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 cup dashi
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- a few slices American cheese
- 3 stalks scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Use a deep skillet and turn the heat to medium high. Add 1 tablespoon butter, dashi, soy, mirin, sugar and bring to boil.
- Add the daikon pieces and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, uncovered, turning them over every 10 minutes, to coat evenly.
- Test the 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 tablespoon butter and shake the skillet to spread the butter evenly.
- Add a small square of cheese on top of each piece, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 1 minute, until the cheese has melted.
- – Turn the heat off and immediately transfer daikon to a plate. Top with chopped scallions and serve hot.
Notes
Save these daikon bites in an airtight storage container. They will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
