The wari boshi daikon took two days to make, while the kiri boshi daikon took one day, both in my workroom.
割り干し大根は作るのに二日、切干し大根は一日（ともに私の仕事部屋で）かかりました。
My wife simmered the kiri boshi daikon with dried shiitake, carrot, and uchi mame (lit. bean beans).
妻は、切干し大根を干しシイタケ、にんじん、打ち豆と一緒に煮ました。
The home-made kiri boshi daikon was a great success.
自家製切干し大根は大成功でした。
I have made it! (You don't see me but I'm jumping with joy). Thank you so much for the inspiration and the recipe! Hari hari zuke is a real revelation! It's incredibly good and I have fallen in love with the texture (it reminds me a bit of dried squid I bought in 7/11 in Tokyo). I had it yesterday as a side dish with okonomiyaki: just perfect. I have dried only one leftover, wilted daikon, but now I am going to buy several kilos of daikon and dry them for more batches.
ReplyDeleteI have taken photos and will soon post the results. Thanks again.
Sissi: I'm glad you liked it, because I like harihari zuke, too, mainly because of its unique texture! Believe it or not, dried squid is also a common ingredient of hariharizuke, so is kazunoko (herring roe), as you can see here:

I hope I can make such a gorgeous version one day (laugh)!
Hiroyuki, I'm sure I would love it with squid. I'm also sure you can make a better version than the one you have linked to :-)
