  • 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.

  • 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.
