Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams daikon radish
- 2 cups leftover cooked rice
- 4 cups dashi stock
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 stalks scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 1 large egg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon shredded nori (seaweed) for garnish
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and cut it into thin half-moon slices approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a medium-sized pot, bring the dashi stock to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced daikon radish to the pot and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the daikon is tender but not falling apart.
Add the cooked rice to the pot, gently breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir to combine and reduce the heat to low.
Season the stew with soy sauce, mirin, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
If using an egg, beat it lightly in a small bowl. Drizzle the beaten egg into the stew in a thin stream while gently stirring. Let the egg cook for 30-60 seconds, or until just set.
Serve the daikon zosui hot in bowls, garnished with finely chopped scallions and a sprinkle of shredded nori.
