This is a dish my husband absolutely loves! The daikon is so tender and melts in your mouth, the chicken wings are super soft, and the glossy glaze makes you want seconds of rice!

3 servings- Chicken wings (drumette)6
- Daikon radish (2cm chunks)5
- ★Ginger (sliced)5 slices
- ★Sugar2+ tbsp

Cut the edges off 5 daikon chunks and blanch them until a chopstick passes through easily. Drain well.
- 2
In a pot, combine 5 slices of ginger, 2+ tbsp sugar, 1/2 cup sake, 1/2 cup mirin, and 1 cup water. Heat to a boil.
- 3
Add 6 chicken wings and the blanched daikon. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then carefully skim off the scum. Reduce heat to low.
- 4
Add 3 tbsp soy sauce and simmer until the broth reduces to about 1/3 of its original volume. The chicken wings should be tender and the daikon glossy and tender when done.
Tips
Carefully remove the scum from the chicken wings to achieve a cleaner finish. Properly blanching the daikon beforehand prevents it from breaking apart during simmering.
