I just realised it is not easy to make the elegant daikon with ankake sauce dish that is a very traditional japanese dish.

Though just daikon, you just have to perfect the simmering sauce, and time for simmering it.

With that perfected, you get a wonderfully sweet yet savoury daikon.

Daikon no fukame ni (Deeply simmered daikon)

Made this for dinner, the chicken ankake was easy, but the daikon wasnt soft enough.

Gonna simmer it longer the next time. But gotta watch the heat and time again cos over simmering wouldnt be good too. Ganbarimasu! (working hard on it!)

Shumai, inari sushi and daikon leaves sushi rice

This is what i like to do with the daikon leaves, blanch and steep them in very light shoyu overnight, and the finely chopped pickle like pieces make a good rice accompaniment.


Dinner
was daikon no fukame ni, tonjiru (pork based miso soup) with root vegetables,

and a simple vegetable stir fry with sakura prawns.

Weather forecast says it will rain overnight.

good for sleeping, but pls pray with me for those working night shifts, that they will be safe on the roads.
