Ingredients
- 1 daikon
- 4 whole pork chops
-
1 tbsp. oil or butter
- 1 garlic clove (optional)
-
1 tbsp. soy sauce
Instructions
Finely grate the daikon using a fine grater. Squeeze it with your hands to remove excess water. This step is important to prevent the daikon from becoming too watery when served.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pork and finely chopped garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the pork. The pork should be well browned and cooked through.
Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the soy sauce and reduce over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring well to recover all the cooking juices.
Arrange the pork pieces on a plate. Add a portion of grated daikon to the side or top of the pork, as you prefer. Pour the hot soy sauce over the pork and daikon.
Serve your daikon pork immediately with fragrant white rice. This tasty, well-balanced dish is ideal for a simple yet refined meal.
Recipe notes
The key to this recipe's success is daikon (Japanese radish), which balances out any dish that's a little salty and greasy, especially when combined with soy sauce.
You can use this recipe with boneless chicken breast or thighs, veal and even certain firm fish such as monkfish or turbot.
In Japan, fine graters are available specifically for daikon. They are indispensable if you want to obtain a sufficiently fine paste.
Alternatively, a microplane or centrifuge can be used to recover juice and pulp.
THE DAIKON
Daikon is a large Japanese white radish that can be eaten raw, grated, pickled or cooked in stews. Its freshness balances a rich dish. It is harvested and eaten mainly in autumn.
