1 pound daikon radish(about 450 g)

1 slice ginger

1 cup water or stock (235 ml)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (16 g)

½ teaspoon salt (about 2 g, or to taste)

¼ teaspoon sugar (about 1 g)

¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

1 scallion (chopped)

1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

Cut the daikon into half-inch thick, bite-sized pieces. In a pot, add 1 slice ginger, 1 cup water or stock (235ml), 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (16 g), ½ teaspoon salt (2 g), ¼ teaspoon sugar (1 g), ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper (a large pinch), and stir to combine. Add the daikon.

Cover and bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 20 minutes until the daikon is fork tender, stirring occasionally.

Right before serving, add in the chopped scallion, and a few drops of sesame oil (optional). Mix well and serve!
