At 56 cents per serving and only about 15 minutes of labor, this is perhaps our new favorite go-to appetizer/main course. Though Daikon Cakes are traditionally baked with pork, then served as dim sum, this recipe is a faster and healthier approach - we’re opting for a pan-fried method and are using tofu as our source of protein.
To make this dish a main course, we served our daikon cakes over some baby greens and a balsamic vinaigrette, but we have a suspicion they’d make an awfully tasty appetizer as well.
