Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Pork cutlet pieces 250g
- Potato Starch (as needed)
- Vegetable Oil 2 tbsp
- Daikon Radish 200g (approx. 1/4)
- Scallions (for garnish, as needed)
Seasonings
- [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- [A] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
- [A] Sugar 1 tsp
- [A] Grated Garlic 1 tsp
- [A] Grated Ginger 1 tsp
- [A] Salt (pinch)
- [A] Pepper (pinch)
- Ponzu Sauce 1 tbsp
Steps
- In a bowl, add pork cutlet pieces 250g. Season with Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Soy Sauce 2 tsp, Sugar 1 tsp, Grated Garlic 1 tsp, Grated Ginger 1 tsp, Salt (pinch), and Pepper (pinch). Mix well.
- Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the pork to absorb the flavors.
- Peel and grate Daikon Radish 200g (approx. 1/4).
- Lightly squeeze out the excess water from the grated daikon.
- Tear the marinated pork pieces and coat them evenly with Potato Starch (as needed). (Key Tip!) Coating the pork after spreading it out will result in a crispy texture.
- Heat Vegetable Oil 2 tbsp in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Place the potato starch-coated pork pieces in the heated frying pan.
- Cook the pork until the bottom side is golden brown.
- Flip the pork pieces over.
- Continue to cook until the other side is also nicely browned.
- Transfer the cooked pork to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. (Key Tip!) Using only 2 tablespoons of oil results in a delicious finish.
- Arrange the drained pork on a serving plate.
- Place the grated daikon radish in the center of the pork on the plate. (Key Tip!) Leaving some moisture in the grated daikon will create a delightful contrast between the crispy pork and the juicy radish.
- Drizzle Ponzu Sauce 1 tbsp over the grated daikon. (You can also substitute with mentsuyu or a versatile soy sauce).
- Sprinkle with chopped Scallions (as needed) and serve. Enjoy!
