The daikon is cooked until it becomes semi-transparent and tender.

Steps to make Simmered Daikon Radish and Pork Belly:
  1. Peel the daikon radish thickly, and then shave the edges of the slices off. Parboil the daikon radish in the rinsing water from washing rice, or with 1 tablespoon of rice added to plain water.
  2. Parboil for about 20 minutes. When the daikon radish is translucent, drain and rinse. Line the pan with kombu, add fresh water and simmer the daikon radish again.
  3. If you don't have kombu, you can add some mentsuyu to the water and simmer the daikon radish. I didn't have a lot of kombu, so I added both.
  4. Slice the pork belly in to 1 cm thick pieces.

  11. Bonus: If you cut each 4 cm thick piece of daikon radish into about 6 pieces, it will cook a lot faster. If you do this, reduce the seasoning ingredients to 2 tablespoons each.
  12. Bonus 2: If you don't mind the flavors blending in, use chicken, bacon, fish, atsuage… anything you like.
