Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 lb daikon radish
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (plain flour) or potato/corn starch
- 1 green onion / scallion
Seasonings:
- 1 tsp grated garlic
- 1 Tbsp sake
- 1 Tbsp mirin
- 1 ⅓ Tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Cut daikon into round slices about ⅘ inch (2 cm) thick and peel the skin thickly. Make shallow, crisscross cuts on one side of each slice.
- Arrange the daikon slices on a microwave-safe plate, making sure they don't overlap. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and microwave on medium power (500W) for 9 minutes. When done, thoroughly pat each slice dry with paper towels and generously coat both sides with flour or starch.
- In a small bowl, combine the seasonings (grated garlic, sake, mirin, and soy sauce). Thinly slice green onion.
- Heat oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the daikon slices and cook over medium heat until both sides are nicely browned.
- After the slices develop a nice sear, add the seasoning mixture from the bowl to the pan. Continue cooking while coating them with the sauce, flipping halfway through, until the sauce reduces and thickens.
- Serve on a plate and sprinkle the green onions on top.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
