Simmered dried Japanese radish

Kiriboshi daikon no nimono（切干大根の煮物）

What the kind of dish is Kiriboshi daikon no nimono ??

This is a simmered dried daikon radish with a wonderful dashi flavor. It is a standard menu of home cooking. It’s a dish that fits any occasion, whether it’s breakfast or a bento box. The aroma of dashi soup calms people’s minds. It has a very gentle taste.

This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. Therefore, make a large amount. You can also freeze.

The key to enriching the flavor is to use dried shiitake mushrooms. Make sure to include the dried shiitake mushrooms and the reconstituted juice from the dried shiitake mushrooms in this recipe.

Many recipes do not contain ginger, but I add ginger for my preference.
The spiciness and aroma of ginger will be an accent. Please try it.

About each ingredient

“Dried daikon radish” is made by cutting daikon into thin strips and drying them in the sun. It has been used as a preserved food. Reconstitute with water and use for simmered dishes, pickled dishes, and salads.

”Dried shiitake mushrooms” are a special product of Oita Prefecture. There are also thinly sliced ones, but this recipe uses the one called “Donko”. The flavor is completely different when you use this because you can get a strong and thick soup stock.

”Satsumaage” is molded fish meat and fried in oil. Chikuwa, fried tofu, konnyaku, etc. can be substituted.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
