[ASMR] ULTIMATE BRAISED DAIKON | RECIPE | Takoshiho Cooks Japan

dashi

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + soy sauce

Vegetable broth maintains flavor while being lower in sodium.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

White wine is more accessible and can mimic the sweetness of mirin.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Tamari is often similar in price and gluten-free.

daikon

🥗Healthier: turnip

💰Cheaper: radish

Both alternatives provide similar textures and flavors.

Peel the daikon and cut it into thick rounds or half-moons.

In a pot, combine dashi stock, low sodium soy sauce, and salt.

Add the daikon to the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Add dried seaweed to the pot with the daikon.

Cover the pot and cook until daikon is tender.

Once tender, remove the lid and let the liquid reduce for about 10 minutes.

Mix potato starch with water and add to the pot to thicken the sauce.

Garnish with yuzu peel before serving.
