Notes

  • It's best to eat them right away! They get soft and soggy as time passes, so please serve them immediately and enjoy the crispy texture.
  • If you want to serve them later, keep the marinated daikon in the fridge and pan-fry them right before the meal.
  • Do not overcook daikon, or it will become soggy and lose its crunchy texture because the daikon's moisture comes out.
  • You can use leftover soy sauce for marinating or stir-frying other vegetables.
