Daikon and Pork Soup
One of the soup that my Mom often cooked for us, this daikon and pork soup is simple and tasty, and the addition of salted dried cuttlefish turns this into a delectable affair. If you cannot find salted dried cuttlefish, you can substitute with ebi (dried shrimps), fish sauce, or shaved bonito.

It's been ages since I've had this! I used 1 teaspoon of dashi granules for the umami bits and let a pork bone simmer in there. Came out delicious. An absolutely essential soup!
