Cooking tips 💡

• Pre-marinating the radish in soy sauce causes it to lose moisture, resulting in a firmer texture that holds up well even after long simmering without falling apart.
• Choose naturally sun-dried dried pollock strips from a traditional drying shed rather than machine-dried ones—this yields a softer texture and less fishy aroma.
• For a deeper, richer taste, replace plain water with a cup of store-bought beef bone broth at the final step—it dramatically enhances umami and body.
