Instructions to make Squid Daikon for Japanese-Style Bentos:

1. Squid Daikon. These are all the ingredients you need. First, let's make the squid taste good and look good for putting into a bento.
2. Score the squid with a diamond pattern, then cut into easy-to-eat sized pieces. Sprinkle with a little sake (not listed in the ingredients).
3. Daikon. Peel and cut into bite sized chunks. Add about 2 tablespoons of water (not listed in the ingredients) and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 5 minutes, turn the dish, and microwave for an additional 5 minutes.
4. And then, because we want to get a nice, light texture, boil just a little more until soft.
5. Simmering sauce: Put all the sauce ingredients but the water into a small pan and bring to a rapid boil. Add the squid, and boil on high for 1 minute.
6. Take out the squid. Add the daikon (drained) and one cup of water.
7. Bring to a rapid boil again. Much of the liquid will evaporate as it simmers. Continue boiling until only about 1/4 of the liquid remains. Then add the squid back in, along with the ginger and the last tablespoon of mirin.
8. Continue boiling on high. It's done when the liquid has mostly simmered away. The surface should have a slight sheen. It's good to eat now, as is.
9. But we're making this for bento. The squid is going to get dried out…
