Tips for cook simmered squid and daikon radish
The daikon radish will eventually lose its moisture and become a little smaller, so cut it so that it is a little thick. Thick daikon radish has a juicy feeling.
Also, by simmering the squid thoroughly in the dashi broth, the fibers break down, allowing the squid to fully absorb the squid broth. By pre-boiling the daikon radish in a small amount of bonito stock, the water content of the daikon radish can be easily removed and the taste will soak in.
