Juicy tasty yet delicious. Very easy to make. Perfect for vegan/vegetarian people as well. This recipe works with turnip, too. Quick and easy way to use up radishes 😋

Daikon Radish Steak (Recipe)

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 10min

Ingredients

500g (1.1lb) Daikon radish

* 1 tbsp. Sake (or white wine is ok)

* 1 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)

* 1 tbsp. soy sauce

chopped green onion

cooking oil

Directions:

1. Cut Daikon radish into 1.5cm (0.5inch) thick round slices. Make cross incisions on both sides so that they soak flavor well. Microwave at 500w for 5 minutes. You can parboil Daikon with Kome no Togijiru (or water with a tablespoon of rice) for 15 minutes (it makes Daikon clear colored and less bitter). Drain well and remove excess water with paper towel.

2. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan. Cook both sides of Daikon on medium until slightly browned.

3. Dress with A until shiny fragrant (it turns bitter if you burn too much but it is tasty in this way, it is up to your preference).

4. Place on a dish, and garnish with green onions to finish.

* Instead of Teriyaki sauce, you can simply season with salt and pepper! It is delicious, too.

Nagashi Somen (At-Home Fun Flowing Noodles Party Rainbow LED Machine) | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

Somen is perfect refreshing food for hot and humid summer season 🎐

Sōmen (素麺) is very thin Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. The noodles are usually served cold in summer with a dashi flavored tasty dipping sauce called Mentsuyu (めんつゆ).

My daughter requested me to make Nagashi Somen (Flowing Somen). Two years ago (when she was 3) she had a chance to do it at Kindergarten. Noodles flowing in a bamboo pipe, you need to catch the noodles with chopsticks then dip in a cup of noodle sauce to eat. Sadly not because of COVID-19, this event is gradually removed from schools. Anyway, we can still enjoy it at home 😋 Kids enjoyed it and ate well 👍💕 BTW, I asked my daughter if she needs a machine like a long water slide, then my daughter chose this one and it was pretty fun!!! Good choice 💡

---------------------------------

Nagashi Somen (At-Home Fun Flowing Noodles Party Rainbow LED Machine) Recipe

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 15min
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
((Toppings))
boiled eggs
Kinshi Tamago (shredded egg crepe) is perfect
cooked shrimp
simmered Shiitake mushrooms
goldfish tomatoes (optional)
cucumber slices (or thin strips)
ham
shredded chicken
Yakibuta (braised pork) is good
Shiso leaves
Naganegi (long onion slices)
Aonegi (chopped green onions)
ginger strips
etc...
((Somen Dipping Sauce))
* 300ml Dashi broth (using packaged dashi powder saves time)
* 4 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)
* 4 tbsp. soy sauce
((Somen Noodles))
dried Somen noodles

Directions:
((Somen Dipping Sauce))
In a pot, bring Dashi broth, Mirin, and soy sauce to a boil. You can also microwave until it comes to a boil. Cool in the fridge until ready to serve.
((Somen Noodles))
Boil water in a large pot. Add dried Somen noodles in boiling water and gently stir noodles with chopsticks. Cook Somen noodles according to your package (mine was 2 min). Drain the noodles in a strainer and rinse the noodles with hands under running water.

NOTE: You can put about 100g (usually 2 bundles) of Somen noodles in the machine or the noodles won't flow.

I love using Kayanoya Dashi. Vegan/Vegetarian people can use Kombu or Vegetable Dashi broth for the dipping sauce 👍
