Pan Fried Daikon Cake

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups grated daikon radish
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 red onion, chopped
  • 0.5 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
  • 1.5 cups vegetable oil for frying

Method

  1. Put the grated daikon into a large bowl and sprinkle it with the 2 teaspoons of salt. Place this in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Afterwards, drain the daikon and move it to a clean bowl.
  2. Mix the chopped red onion, Italian seasoned bread crumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of chile-garlic sauce into the daikon. Combine everything thoroughly. Shape the mixture into 8 individual patties.
  3. Pour the 1.5 cups of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat it. Place the patties in the hot oil and fry them until they are firm and have a good brown colour, which takes about 3 minutes for each side. Transfer the cooked cakes to paper towels to drain.
