I thought this was delicious. The sauce was very good. My husband didn't like it, because of the daikon. He thought the daikon was bitter (I entirely disagreed), but thought the sauce with the chicken was very tasty. I used chicken breasts. I boiled the sauce in a separate pan for about 10 minutes to reduce it before adding it to the chicken, so the chicken wouldn't overcook.

This Recipe was great! I had daikon radish left from my winter CSA box and didn't want to make a cold 'slaw' type recipe with it. The whole family (inc 2 and 5-year old girls) LOVE this recipe. I modified it some. I didn't have sake, so I used some rice vinegar. I don't know what mirin is, so I just skipped it. This is now added to my regular rotation. We doubled+ the sauce the second and third time to have lots of sauce over rice.

This is an excellent recipe! I used chicken thigh meat. It was a hit with my family and my child's little friends, too. For the children, I halved the chili flakes (gochugaru). For the family, I followed the recipe. Serve it up with hot steamed rice and this is a no-fuss meal full of flavor. Love it!

It will be my first year anniversary as a wife/housewife on the 30th of march 2006 and it has been an interesting year. One thing I've learnt to do is to cook more varied recipes (korean, italian etc). I'm right now living in the Bay Area and I absolutely love this place. Why? Where else in the US can you find good korean, Japanese and chinese supermarkets?
