This dish uses plenty of daikon radish for a chewy texture with melted cheese and mentaiko. It's easy to make by just mixing and baking, and it's a perfect appetizer with the aroma of sesame oil. Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and delicious even when cold.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Daikon Radish 400g
- Mentaiko (Spicy Pollack Roe) 1/2 pod (1 piece)
- Cake Flour 3 tbsp
- Potato Starch 3 tbsp
- Scallions 10g (about 1 stalk)
- Mixed Cheese 50g
Seasonings
- Sesame Oil 1 tbsp + a little more
- Bonito Flakes (Katsuobushi) a pinch
- Salt a pinch
Steps
- Peel and grate 400g of Daikon Radish.
- Lightly squeeze the moisture from the grated daikon radish and place it in a bowl.
- Add the flaked Mentaiko (1/2 pod) to the bowl and mix well.
- Add 3 tbsp of Cake Flour and mix.
- Continue by adding 3 tbsp of Potato Starch and mix further. [Key Tip!] Adjust with potato starch according to the moisture content. If the daikon radish is not moist enough, add a little of the squeezed liquid to adjust.
- Add 50g of Mixed Cheese, chopped 10g of Scallions, and a pinch of Salt, then mix until uniform.
- Heat 1 tbsp of Sesame Oil in a frying pan.
- Pour the mixed batter into the heated frying pan and spread it out evenly. Cook over medium heat until a nice golden brown color appears.
- Once one side is browned, transfer it to a plate. If there isn't enough oil left in the pan, add more Sesame Oil.
- Return the batter to the frying pan and cook the other side until it's also golden brown.
- Once both sides are browned, add a little Sesame Oil to the pan, increase the heat to medium-high, and finish by grilling until the surface is crispy.
- Once the entire surface is nicely browned, transfer it to a cutting board. If you want to cut it into bite-sized pieces, use a knife lightly coated with sesame oil. [Key Tip!] Coating the knife with sesame oil will prevent the batter from sticking.
- Plate the dish and sprinkle with a pinch of Bonito Flakes (Katsuobushi) and more chopped scallions.
