  no need to really cut one, this...
  
  because all you need to do is to anyhow cut the radish.. and porkribs are for flavour and not for eating...
  
  and there is no need for uniform pieces since it's going to be cooked for a long time..
  
  no need for seasoning either.. all the seasoning is in the dried cuttlefish...
  
  that's the beauty of this dish

  no.. the dried cuttlefish (washed of course) provides the sweetness and a touch of salty taste.. but later, if you want, you can add dark soy sauce to taste...
  
  the porkribs provide the base of the stock and also helps flavour the radish.. which absorbs the flavours of both the cuttlefish and pork..
  
  simmer in the slow cooker for a long time, 24 hours is good

  vegetables, umm.. experience
  
  mostly vegetables, you don't need to cook so long..
  
  meats are different.. pork and chicken, you need to cook them completely.. so can take a longer time.. beef can be eaten raw safely and if cooked too long will become tough...
  
  experience is most important

  keep cooking
  
  it gets better when you keep going just remember to think of what you're doing and what's being added..
  
  then you can start to make adjustments

  the most difficult part of cooking is to judge the cooking time
