Pork belly and daikon. Boil pork belly with soy sauce, cheap nihonshu, mirin, and vinegar if you like vinegar. Boil with a paper foil on top of it, without touching the liquid, but inside the pot (the paper foil), this makes it reduce, but not too much. When is tender add daikon 2.5~3 cm thick slices with cross cuts on both sides so flavor gets in. When you can stab the daikon like a boiled potato with a regular chopstick, then it’s ready. Serve with whatever you want. I like with rice misoshiru and vegetables that have been in vinegar and some for of dashi some hours or days ago, a form of pickled something. Best regards.
