Daikon Radish Stew [Vegan]

This is definitely not an ordinary Daikon radish stew. This Daikon Radish Stew with Mixed Vegetables is one of my favorite one-pot dishes of all time. Chinese Daikon radish, carrot, Shiitake mushroom, and bamboo shoots, simmered in a light soy-based broth.

How to Prepare Daikon Radish Stew [Vegan]

First, we need to drain the tinned bamboo shoots and cut the kelp into bite-size. Peel daikon radish and carrot, then cut them into approx. 1.5×1.5cm cubes. Soak Shiitake mushroom in boiling hot water for 10-20 minutes. Peel the ginger then cut it into matchsticks.
Heat up a heavy-based pot (smaller pot to ensure the liquid will cover the vegetables) with cooking oil on medium heat. Add ginger, daikon radish and carrot, saute for 2-3 minutes.
Add Shiitake mushroom and water (including shiitake mushroom soaking liquid), the ratio is according to the recipe.
Add Seasonings, Vegan oyster sauce, light soy sauce, black vinegar, mirin, also kelp
Add bamboo shoots and vegetable stock powder.
Let it simmer without a lid on for 30 minutes until the broth is reduced by half.
Add cornstarch slurry to slightly thicken the sauce. To finish with the garnish (spring onion and coriander!)
