Let’s get cooking

01
Prepare cubes
Peel radish and cut into approximately 2.5 cm cubes so cooking time stays manageable.
02
Sauté briefly
Heat oil over medium heat. Stir ginger and radish for 3–4 minutes.
03
Braise gently
Add both soy sauces, sugar and water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 25–30 minutes until a fork enters easily.
04
Reduce sauce
Uncover and simmer 3–5 minutes, gently turning cubes, until the sauce lightly clings. Add a little hot water if the radish needs longer.

A little kitchen wisdom

Radish age and cube size affect tenderness more than a rigid timer.

Dark soy sauce: Omit it and use an extra teaspoon of light soy sauce; the colour will be lighter.

Cook safely

Serve freshly cooked; refrigerate perishable leftovers promptly. Check packaged ingredients for allergens.
