Steps

1. Grate the daikon radish into fine shreds. Use 200g of Daikon Radish. (Key Tip!) Finely shredding makes it easier to mix with other ingredients.

2. Finely chop the bacon. Use 2 slices of Bacon. (Key Tip!) Finely chopping ensures it blends well into the batter.
   🕒 02:00
3. In a bowl, combine the shredded Daikon Radish (200g), finely chopped Bacon (2 slices), All-purpose Flour (4 tbsp), Potato Starch (4 tbsp), Salt (to taste), and Chopped Scallions (2-3 stalks).
   🕒 02:31
4. Mix everything together roughly with a spatula until just combined. (Key Tip!) Using both all-purpose flour and potato starch creates a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
   🕒 03:06
5. Lightly grease a frying pan with sesame oil and heat over medium heat.
   🕒 03:40
6. Spread the mixed batter into the frying pan and flatten the surface.
   🕒 03:50
7. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and steam-fry. (Key Tip!) Low heat and steaming ensure a chewy texture.
   🕒 04:26
8. Once the batter has set firmly, flip it over with a spatula.
   🕒 04:46
9. After flipping, add a little more sesame oil, cover again with the lid, and pan-fry until golden brown and chewy.
   🕒 05:13
10. Pat dry any moisture released during steaming with a paper towel. Remove the lid and continue to cook, allowing moisture to evaporate until crispy. Cook until your desired level of browning is achieved. (Key Tip!) Re-frying after drying the surface makes it wonderfully crispy.
    🕒 05:45
11. Transfer the cooked daikon mochi to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces.
    🕒 06:23
12. If you have time, add a little sesame oil to the frying pan again, arrange the cut daikon mochi, and pan-fry both sides until golden brown. If they are thick, pan-frying the sides will make them even crispier. (Key Tip!) Re-frying enhances the crispiness and flavor.
    🕒 06:50
13. In a small bowl, mix together prepared mustard, soy sauce, and vinegar in your desired proportions to make a dipping sauce.
    🕒 07:48
14. Arrange the pan-fried daikon mochi on a plate. Serve with the prepared dipping sauce and, if desired, a dollop of prepared mustard.
