Green Onion Diced Diagonally
Garlic diced 4 cloves
Fish Sauce 1 Tsp
Salt 1 tsp
Water 5 cups

Rinse daikon in cold water

Add 5 cups of cold water in a heavy bottom pot
Add the daikon in at medium heat until boiled with lid on

Bring another small pot of water to boil
Add the beef cubes in and turn off the heat to allow the beef to change from raw red color
Drain and rinse beef cubes in cold water to let go of the residual (i.e. yield clear soup)

Add green onion, salt and fish sauce to taste
