Servings 4 people
Cost $10.00
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds daikon radish
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water or sake
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
Instructions
- Gather ingredients.
- Bring water to boil In a medium size pot large enough to hold all the radish.
- Peel and wash the daikon. Cut the daikon in 2 inch cross-wise, then slice them lengthwise into rectangle shapes, called Tanzaku-giri (approximately 2 x 0.75 x 0.25 inch). You may cut them into quarter moon shapes (Icho-giri).
- Add sliced daikon radishes to the boiling water. Simmer the daikon on low heat until almost cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
- Place a medium saute pan (large enough to hold all the ingredients) on a stove top and turn the heat on. Add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil then cook the ground beef by breaking it up into pieces.
- Add sugar, soy sauce, and water (or sake) and mix well then reduce the heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- When the daikon radishes are almost cooked though, turn the heat off and drain the water.
- Add the drained daikon to the ground beef mixture and mix well. On a low to medium heat, braise the beef and daikon for 5-7 minutes (with a partial lid), turning daikon over a couple of times.
- Adjust the seasoning if necessary and serve with white rice. Enjoy.
