1/2 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Place the daikon in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Drain daikon. Stir in the garlic, onion, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, paprika, and chili garlic sauce. Mix well. Form into 8, small round patties.
Pour oil into a large skillet. Heat over medium heat. Fry patties in the hot oil until firm and nicely brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Red and White Salad
Ingredients and Directions: 2 parts finely shredded daikon, 1 part finely shredded carrot, salt lightly and let sit 5 minutes, then squeeze out. Dress with a sweet-sour dressing made from 1/2 cup rice vinegar heated to dissolve 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 tsp salt, then cooled to room temperature before use. Let salad stand at least 30 minutes before serving; will keep up to 3 days if refrigerated. This last is great with any sort of spicy or rich food.
