Ingredients

  • 10.6 oz. (300g) daikon radish
  • 0.45 lb. (200g) boneless chicken thighs
  • 0.17 oz. (5g) ginger
  • ⅚ cup (200ml) bonito dashi (awase dashi)
  • 1 Tbsp sake
  • 2 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 ½ Tbsp soy sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel and cut the daikon into 0.8 inch (2cm) thick rounds, then further divide each round into bite-sized pieces, either into sixths or eighths. Cut the chicken thighs into 0.8 inch (2 cm) cubes. Peel and grate the ginger.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a pan. Add the chicken thighs and sauté them over medium heat until both sides change color.

  3. 3

    Add the daikon, grated ginger, and some of the seasonings (dashi, sake, mirin, and sugar) to the pan. Once the seasoned liquid comes to a boil, cover it with an otoshi-buta and let it simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove the otoshi-buta, add soy sauce to the pan, and continue simmering over medium heat until most of the liquid is reduced, for about 10 minutes.
