Tasty Simmered Daikon Tortoise Shell 大根のこっくり煮 | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

In Japanese, people call this dish "大根のこっくり煮 OR 大根のべっこう煮". 大根=Daikon. こっくり=Tasty. べっこう=Tortoise Shell. 煮=simmered.

My daughter had this dish at her elementary school and said it was good, so I decided to recreate it at home. Pork belly slices are commonly used but if you think pork belly has too much fat, use any portion you like :) I used affordable pork shoulder trimmings 👍

Daikon radish is from my son's Daikon digging at Kindergarten BTW 😉

KUMON Cube Blocks (EXTRAS by kids)

FYI: https://amzn.to/3I9RO9y

Recorded by kids while I was editing my next video 😂

This toy is focusing to develop below skills.

1. Shape Recognition Training

2. Thinking Skills

【How to play】

Start with the guide/sample card and the 2D pattern. After several shapes completed, try the more complicated 3D patterns.

"Cube blocks" contains 50 colorful blocks. The blocks are made from Japanese beech with paint taking an advantage of wood. Let kids play with blocks freely. Then, follow the questions written on the guide/sample cards as the next step. It can help to develop the sense of position, 2D and 3D diagram, and quantity.

The first step is always the hardest. Please look after kids and don't rush. It is not easy to solve questions, but the basic sense developed by this process is very important for elementary school education.
