Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 1 whole daikon, peeled cut into 4-5cm rounds
  • 1L good quality chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon red miso
  • 30ml soy sauce
  • 30ml rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 bunch chives, finely chopped
  • Gochugaru Korean chilli flakes, to garnish

If the desired texture is reached before the sauce has reduced, remove daikon and reduce sauce separately. Make sure to taste the stock as it reduces, as it can become quite salty if over done!

Place daikon on serving platter and spoon over sauce. Garnish the daikon fondant with chopped chives and Gochugaru Korean chilli flakes for an additional pop of colour and flavour.
