Yield: 1 Servings

3/4 lb Peeled sliced Daikon
3 tb Rice vinegar
1 1/2 c Dashi
2/3 c Shoyu
1/3 c Sake
1 tb Mirin
Optional, sugar to taste
1/2 lb Carrots, sliced bitesize
1 md Turnip, peeled, sliced
8 Green onion bottoms (not the
Green tops), chopped or
Whole

Best made with a stronger Dashi

Place sliced daikon on platter and pour vinigar ovr it. Let stand about
15
mins, then rinse and pat dry. Add it and rest to a pot and simmer 30 mins
or iuntil the veggies are your preferred level of 'done'.

Daikon is basically japanese radish, and it looks much like a very LARGE
white carrot. Milder tasting than the normal American type so if you cant
find it, use ours but only about 1/2 the amount and cut them in 3 parts
removing top and bottom parts. Mirin is a sugary ricewine like item, and
you can substitute 2 parts sake to 1 part sugar for something so close it
is hard to tell the difference once you heat it and reduce it to 1/2
volume. Light or sweet sherry are also suitable substitutes.

Optional additions: Potatoes, Bamboo shoots, Shiitake (a type of mushroom
and yes, you can use normal ones too), hard cooked eggs (not advised for
you), fishcakes, tofu, asparagus. Depending on what you add and how much,
you have soup or stew.

For a full meal, you would traditionally serve this with rice, a small
slice of fishcake (omit for you until I find one fat-free but the size of
the slice is about that of a single canned sardine and that is a suitable
alternate and is lovely with hot sauce on it and set atop the rice), and
some slices of fresh fruit.

Americans may prefer to serve it with a rice cake, float some rice
crackers
in the soup, and have a green salad at the side.

This meal is high in sodium so those who have been specifically advised to
reduce sodium due to high blood pressure or other reasons, should avoid
it,
but otherwise it is *extremely* heart healthy. The added optional hard
cooked egg would be but one egg, added at the very end of cooking.
make a kool-aide like drink when you add sugar to it.
