Stir fried daikon and pork

Hello!
It had been cold and raining a lot last week but luckily we had a nice hanami (cherry blossoms viewing) under the beautiful sky on Saturday. Koishikawa botanic garden, Tokyo(map) is a place where you can see well-maintained cherry blossoms avoiding crowded people in this season. Everyone brought some food and drinks and had a chat under the young blossoms.
Today I will cook a easy but tasty daikon dish. The daikon absorbs the nice taste of the pork and soup.
Ingredients;
daikon
sliced pork
soy sauce(1tbsp)
sake(1tbsp)
sugar(1tsp)
mirin(sweet rice wine)(1tbsp)
soup(dried bonito)
1- Cut daikon in a 5cm stick and daikon leaves finely.

2- Stir fry the sliced pork. When the pork is cooked, put the daikon in and fry together.

3- Add 2 cups of soup, soy sauce, sake, sugar and mirin. Put the daikon leaves and cook until it has no soup.

Itadakimasu.
