Daikon Radish Steak | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

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 😋

Smoky flavor of pan fried Daikon is very appetizing. Better pan fried since soy sauce is easy to burn. Microwave or parboil Daikon first to cook faster 😉

Daikon Radish Steak

My daughter planted purple Daikon so I used it. You can of course use white one 👍

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

Daikon Radish Steak (Recipe)

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 10min

Number of servings: 4

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.

Reflect on 2020 and 2021 Goals! | OCHIKERON | Create Eat Happy :)

My resolution in 2021 will be to keep up my work as usual under many changes. Of course health always comes first. I am working on free new projects. Hopefully I will share with you in 2021 💕

Thank you everyone for supporting my channel. I am very happy to hear you say you actually made my recipe, my recipes are easy to follow, or you think you can make it someday! In 2011, when I first started YouTube, I could not imagine I can live on doing this. Yes, now it is getting harder that there is so much information on the website. But whole my idea stays the same. I still feel comfortable doing this on my own when I have time, not turning it into a business. I know some creators who relate to this feeling. It is not only me. I am very picky about what I do and share. I cannot go for everything but I believe what I find exciting is always a very meaningful way to share my creative passion. Thank you again for supporting my channel and let me keep up my work 💖More recipes are coming 😉

Wishing you and your family a very happy Holidays and a safe and healthy 2021 ✨

Japanese BBQ Birthday Party 🎂 2020.11.14.

Nice and warm November weather. My dad (grandpa) decided to throw a birthday party for my kids: my daughter (11/29 6years) and my son (11/20 4 years). Every year we book a restaurant but for COVID-19 we didn't. I hope you learn something new about Japan from this video 😉

Shigaraki-Yaki Water Stove 信楽焼「水コンロ」

It is similar to Shichirin but you put water to avoid ash flying over your food.

You can use it on your table since it won't get too hot.

My dad is picky about the lava Yakiniku plate. hehe

BBQ was fun, so I looked for the water stove. It's in my shopping list 💕

Roast Chicken turned out very juicy yet tasty. Not at all flaky!!! Putting half-cooked rice in the chicken will end up cooking the perfect rice. My dad put too much charcoal and burnt the chicken. Please be careful 😅

I made sandwiches using the leftover chicken we brought back. It was AMAZING!!! This reccipe will help FYI 👍

Recreated Panda Bento at Ueno Zoo 🐼💕 | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

We had Panda Bento at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. It was very cute and looked very easy to make, so we tried to recreate it at home 🐼 If you cannot get the bamboo skin wrapping sheet, you can of course put it in a Bento box. I did so, too for kids' school lunch 😉

Bamboo Skin Wrapping Sheet Takekawa 竹の皮（大）15cm60cm 6inch23inch

To use, soak the Bamboo Sheet 2~3 hours in advance to make it soft. Rinse and wipe off any extra water before you use. Peel off 5mm-wide bamboo string to tie up the wrapped Bento.

At Ueno Zoo, the flavored rice was sticky Mochi rice (Okowa) and it was steamed in a steamer until they serve. We found the rice getting pretty hard and chewy, as they keep it like this for hours, so my kids could not complete it. This is why I made this video using regular rice.

Panda Bento Lunch Box
