Step 1
In a large pot, combine 2 cups water, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, and 1 tbsp sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Step 2
Add 1 lb pork pieces and 1 lb daikon rounds to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and cover.
Step 3
Simmer gently until the pork is tender and the daikon is translucent, about 30 minutes. Skim any foam that rises.
Step 4
Add 1 tbsp julienned ginger and simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes, until the broth has slightly reduced and flavors meld.
Step 5
Serve hot in bowls, spooning the broth over the pork and daikon. Garnish with extra ginger if desired.
