If you like to mix your breakfast sausage with your pancakes and syrup, you'll want to try this spice cake with sausage and coffee.
Stir-Fried Japanese Ginger Pork
If you can't find daikon radishes, use a bunch of small red radishes when in season. I love this stir-fry because you can add any veggies you like, including spring onions, savoy, or Chinese cabbage... whatever you have handy.
