Korean Braised Daikon
Tender daikon radish slowly braised in a savory Korean soy and gochugaru sauce with dried anchovies, garlic, sesame, and green onion.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Peel the daikon and cut it into 2.5 cm-thick rounds, then halve each round.
-
Step 2
Combine the water, soy sauce, sugar, gochugaru, and minced garlic, stirring until the sugar begins to dissolve.
-
Step 3
Arrange the prepared daikon in the pot, tuck in the dried anchovies, and pour over the braising liquid. Bring to a boil over high heat.
-
Step 4
Cover the pot, reduce to low heat, and simmer until the daikon begins to turn translucent and soften.
-
Step 5
Remove the lid and discard the anchovies. Simmer over medium heat, occasionally spooning sauce over the daikon, until it is tender and the sauce is glossy and reduced.
-
Step 6
Slice the green onions, stir them into the pot, and cook over low heat until slightly softened.
-
Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve warm or at room temperature.
