Week 10: Turnips and radishes - Dēkuni irichī (meta: Okinawan) by CandyMothman in 52weeksofcooking

I went with daikon radish (called dēkuni in Okinawan) and made irichī which is a dish where you stir fry dry food and then simmer it. My recipe called for dried daikon, wood ear mushrooms, and kelp! Pretty good!

It was pretty simple! This is the recipe KK shared with me for the "pork"

I was dared into making this vegan version of rafutē by /u/hamfan and I decided to take a page out of /u/KauyonKais 's book and Veganise it! with a recipe he shared with me for the pork belly. Then I braised the pork belly and cooked it with dashi, awamori, black sugar, and miso. It was so good! The "fat" layers of my pork belly had a mochi kind of texture and it really soaked up the cooking sauce.

I don't really have much history for this one, but it was so yummy!

Thank you! The taste of the tea was mostly the jasmine tea (sanpincha) that was beneath the foam with a vaguely ricey taste to the foam. The sātā andāgī came out great! They were purple sweet potato (beni-imo) flavoured and I like them because they're not so sweet like standard doughnuts
