Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's ready for cooking the pork and daikon.
- 2
Prepare the miso glaze by whisking together miso paste, sake, mirin, and sugar in a small bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, sake, mirin, and sugar until you get a smooth, well-combined glaze. This will be the key flavor component for your dish.
- 3
Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, then sear it in a hot skillet with a drizzle of olive oil until browned on all sides.
Take the pork tenderloin and season it with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil, then sear the pork until it's nicely browned on all sides. This step is crucial for developing the flavor of the pork.
- 4
Place the seared pork on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
After searing the pork, place it on a baking sheet and put it in the preheated oven. Roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for internal temperature, aiming for at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
- 5
While the pork is cooking, peel and slice the daikon into large rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
As the pork cooks, prepare the daikon. Peel it and then slice it into large rounds, making sure they're about 1/2 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- 6
Place the daikon slices on a separate baking sheet, brush with the miso glaze, and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they're tender and caramelized.
Once you have your daikon slices ready, place them on a baking sheet. Brush the miso glaze evenly over both sides of the daikon slices, ensuring they're well coated. Then, place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the daikon is tender and caramelized, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
- 7
Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the pork more tender and flavorful. Then, slice it thinly against the grain.
- 8
Serve the sliced pork with the miso-glazed daikon and any additional sides you prefer.
To serve, place slices of the pork on a plate and accompany them with the miso-glazed daikon. You can also add any other sides you prefer, such as steamed vegetables or a side salad, to complete the meal.

PunjabiPrincess22I must say, I was quite excited to try dis recipe, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. As a vegetarian, I was immediately turned off by the use of pork tenderloin. I think daikon can be a wonderful ingredient, but it needs to be paired with more suitable options. I also found the preparation time to be a bit lengthy, and I prefer simpler recipes. Traditional Punjabi dishes like sarson ka saag and makki di roti are my true loves, and I wish I could have a similar twist on those. Perhaps a vegetarian version of this recipe could be explored? Overall, I would not recommend dis recipe to others with similar tastes.
LeilaMS92I must say, I was quite excited to try this recipe for Pork and Miso-Glazed Daikon! As a flexitarian with a love for trying new flavors, I was drawn to the combination of rich pork and sweet, savory daikon. However, I did have to make a few adjustments to accommodate my mild soy intolerance - I reduced the amount of miso paste used and paired it with some delicious tropical fruit on the side (a slice of pineapple and some spicy mango salsa, yum!). The result was truly delightful! The pork was tender and flavorful, and the daikon was perfectly caramelized. I only wished I could have made it a bit more Afro-Brazilian-inspired, maybe with some added spices or a side of spicy malagueta sauce... still, it was a wonderful dish and I would definitely make it again. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for someone with English as a second language like myself. Overall, I highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and exciting!
NalaJI appreciate the creativity behind this recipe, combining the rich flavors of pork with the delicate sweetness of miso-glazed daikon. However, as a pescatarian, I must admit that I wouldn't be able to try this dish myself. The use of pork tenderloin doesn't align with my dietary preferences. That being said, I can appreciate the complexity of flavors and techniques involved in preparing this dish. The miso glaze on the daikon sounds particularly intriguing, and I can imagine it would pair well with a variety of seafood options. If I were to modify this recipe to suit my tastes, I might consider substituting the pork with a sustainable seafood option. Overall, I think this recipe would be well-suited for those who enjoy trying new flavors and techniques, and it's a great example of how different culinary traditions can come together to create something unique and delicious.
KTOMath99I really like this recipe! The combination of pork and miso-glazed daikon sounds very interesting. I'm not a vegetarian and I enjoy trying new foods, so this dish caught my attention. I think the instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is still improving their English skills. One thing I need to be careful with is lactose intolerance, but fortunately this recipe doesn't seem to include any dairy products. Overall, I would give this recipe 5 stars and I look forward to trying it out!
AkuaM95I'm afraid this recipe doesn't align with my dietary preferences as it contains pork and other animal products. However, I appreciate the effort to combine flavors in a sophisticated way. The use of miso glaze on daikon sounds interesting, but I would prefer a vegan version of this dish. Perhaps a substitution with a plant-based protein and a vegan-friendly glaze could make it more appealing to me. I also notice that the dish might be on the sweeter side, which isn't my preference. Overall, I can appreciate the creativity, but it doesn't fit my taste.
CodingRohanI must say that I approached this recipe with a bit of skepticism, given my preference for vegetarian meals. The combination of pork and miso-glazed daikon, while intriguing, didn't quite align with my usual culinary inclinations. As I delved into the instructions, I appreciated the attention to detail and the clear step-by-step guide. However, I couldn't help but feel that the dish was somewhat at odds with my dietary preferences. The presence of pork as the main protein source made it difficult for me to fully appreciate the recipe. Furthermore, I noticed that the recipe didn't explicitly address potential gluten concerns, which is a crucial consideration for someone like myself who is gluten intolerant. That being said, I do acknowledge the sophistication and elegance that this dish likely brings to the table, and I can appreciate the effort that went into crafting such a unique flavor profile. If I were to modify this recipe to suit my tastes, I would likely substitute the pork with a vegetarian alternative and ensure that all ingredients are gluten-free. As it stands, however, I can only give this recipe a rating of 2 stars, solely based on my personal preferences and dietary requirements.
AkiraNeonJust made this **Pork and Miso-Glazed Daikon** recipe and it was 🔥! As a flexitarian who loves trying new foods, I was stoked to give this a go. The combo of pork and miso-glazed daikon was crazy good! I mean, I've had miso soup before, but this was on another level. The daikon was all caramelized and sweet, and the pork was super tender. I was a bit worried about the prep time, but it was worth it, you feel me? I did sub out the sake for some other Japanese cooking wine I had on hand, hope that was cool. Also, super important, no peanuts anywhere, which is a major win for me. Only downside was I had to look up what mirin was, lol. Would def make again and experiment with other ingredients. 👌
Luc2000This recipe is pretty solid, I'd give it 4 stars. The combo of pork and miso-glazed daikon is a winner, and it's not too hard to make either. I mean, I've had some pretty meh meals in my time, but this one seems like a good way to mix things up. The miso glaze on the daikon is pretty sweet (not too sweet tho, I'm not a fan of super sweet stuff). And the pork is all nice and tender. I might tweak the recipe a bit to make it more my style, but overall it's a great dish. One thing, I'd prob swap out the sake and mirin for somethin a bit more readily available, like soy sauce and honey or somethin. But hey, if you're feelin fancy, go for it. Would def rec this recipe to anyone lookin for a new dinner idea.
LaniWong87This recipe for Pork and Miso-Glazed Daikon is an absolute masterpiece. The combination of the rich, savory pork tenderloin with the delicate, sweet miso glaze on the daikon is nothing short of culinary genius. As a connoisseur of fine dining and exotic flavors, I was thoroughly impressed by the complexity and depth of flavors in this dish. The use of Japanese-inspired ingredients like miso paste, sake, and mirin adds a delightful authenticity to the recipe. I appreciate the attention to detail in the instructions, which ensures that even the most meticulous cooks (like myself) can achieve perfect results. The only potential drawback is the need for careful planning and timing to ensure that both the pork and daikon are cooked to perfection. However, the end result is well worth the effort. Overall, I highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to elevate their dining experience and explore new flavors.
MaticS99I like dis recipe, pork is good, daikon is nice too. Miso glaze is interesting, not traditional Slovenian, but I like. I think I can make dis at home, my wife can help me with daikon. Only problem, no gluten, I must be careful. I give 4 stars, would be 5 if it was more like goulash or sausage, you know?
SofiARGThis pork and miso-glazed daikon recipe was lit! I mean, I was a bit skeptical at first, I'm all about that asado life, but this dish was like a taste explosion in my mouth. The pork was juicy and flavorful, and that miso glaze on the daikon? Forget about it! It was like a match made in heaven. I did have to swap out the sake for some Argentine Malbec, but it worked like a charm. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that it was a bit too fancy for my usual Friday night vibe, but I'd def make it again for a special occasion or a dinner party. And don't even get me started on the daikon - I was a bit worried it'd be too bland, but that glaze totally elevated it. I'd totally recommend this recipe to my friends, and I'm gonna go make it again ASAP
