Braised Daikon With Roast Pork Belly
This rustic dish came about when we had some left over Chinese roast pork belly. The Family liked it so much we now buy extra to cook the dish. Then again, it could be just a ploy to eat more. We do like to eat roast pork belly very very much.
I adore daikon braised with meat because they complement each other so well. Here, the daikon absorbs the sweetish savoury braising liquid and takes on the smoky flavour of the roast pork. No oil is added as the fat in the pork belly is quite sufficient to brown all ingredients.
Braised Daikon With Roast Pork Belly

Add soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar and enough water to cover the ingredients in the pot. Bring to a boil, removing any impurities from the surface with a spoon. Simmer covered for around 45 minutes until the daikon and carrot are tender.
Remove excess oil and serve with the braising liquid
