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

  1. Peel and grate 400g of Daikon Radish.
  2. Lightly squeeze the moisture from the grated daikon radish and place it in a bowl.
  3. Add the flaked Mentaiko (1/2 pod) to the bowl and mix well.
  4. Add 3 tbsp of Cake Flour and mix.
  5. 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.
  6. Add 50g of Mixed Cheese, chopped 10g of Scallions, and a pinch of Salt, then mix until uniform.
  7. Heat 1 tbsp of Sesame Oil in a frying pan.
  8. 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.
  9. Once one side is browned, transfer it to a plate. If there isn't enough oil left in the pan, add more Sesame Oil.
  10. Return the batter to the frying pan and cook the other side until it's also golden brown.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Plate the dish and sprinkle with a pinch of Bonito Flakes (Katsuobushi) and more chopped scallions.
