Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Daikon radish 250g
- Canned tuna 1 can
Seasonings
- Water 140cc
- Bonito powder 2g
- MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 4 dashes
- Soy sauce 1.5 tbsp
- Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
Steps
- Slice the daikon radish 250g thinly. 【Expert Tip!】 For simmered dishes, you can enjoy the flavor by keeping the skin on.
- Add the sliced daikon radish, 1 can of tuna (including all the oil), and water 140cc to a pot.
- Add bonito powder 2g, MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 4 dashes, soy sauce 1.5 tbsp, and Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, then mix gently. 【Expert Tip!】 If you don't have bonito powder, you can substitute by heating katsuobushi (bonito flakes) in a microwave for 20-30 seconds and then crumbling them. The inosinic acid from canned tuna and glutamic acid from MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) create a synergistic effect.
- Place the pot over medium heat, and once it comes to a gentle boil, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes. 【Expert Tip!】 Slicing the daikon thinly allows it to cook thoroughly in a short amount of time. A drop lid is used when you want to reduce moisture, but for this recipe, a regular lid is better to seal in the umami.
- Once simmered, plate the dish and generously pour the remaining sauce from the pot over it to complete.
