BHUTANESE PORK WITH RADISH STEW The Chinese radish is my favorite ingredient when it comes to soup or stew type of dishes. Also known as daikon, this pale-looking tuber is not as pale as it seems.

The most popular usage of daikon in Asia is in stock preparation, soup/ stew, hotpot, and daikon cake. I like it in soup and stew because it “sweeten” up the soup naturally.

This Bhutanese pork with radish stew is another simple dish to prepare and it doesn’t take a long time to make like a regular stew would.

The pork and spices are stir-fried and then water is added along with the daikon and then simmered until the daikon is tender.

This stew can be as spicy or not spicy as you wish. It is light in taste and comforting when you have it. Love it!
