When raw, daikon radish can be a bit spicy or pungent. But, if you cook it in a flavorful broth until it is meltingly tender, it becomes earthy and a bit sweet. Flavored with miso, ginger, garlic, and star anise, the braising liquid not only tastes delicious, but is good for the digestive system. Serving the braised daikon over steamed rice or quinoa makes it both filling and comforting.

Instructions

1. Add the vegetable stock and miso paste to a pot.
2. Whisk the miso paste into the stock to break it up a bit, then add the garlic, ginger root, star anise, and pepper.
3. Bring the stock to a simmer over medium heat. Let the stock simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, then carefully add the sliced daikon and the apple cider vinegar. Allow the stock to return to a simmer, then cover the pot.
4. Allow the daikon to braise in the stock for 20 to 25 minutes or until very tender.
5. Serve the daikon over steamed rice or quinoa with a bit of the braising liquid, a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon if you like.
