How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Wash the daikon thoroughly under cold running water, then cover with 2 quarts of cold water in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
|
2. Drain the daikon and transfer it to a 3-quart pot. Cover with 2 quarts of cold water and bring to a boil over high heat.
|
3. Lower the heat to moderate and cook the daikon uncovered for 2 hours or until it offers no resistance when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain the daikon in a sieve.
|
4. Combine the dashi, sugar, salt, MSG, soy sauce and sake in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken and daikon, and reduce the heat to its lowest point.
|
5. Set a cover smaller than the pan directly on the food, and simmer undisturbed for 1˝ hours.
|
6. Serve as part of a Japanese meal or in larger portions as a luncheon dish.
