Ingredients
- 400 grams Daikon radish
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the daikon radish and cut it into very thin strips, similar to matchsticks, using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Step 2
Place the daikon strips in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to get an even coating. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, rinse off the excess salt under cold running water and pat the daikon strips dry using paper towels. It's important they are as dry as possible to ensure crispiness.
Step 4
In a large skillet or non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the daikon strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Remove the crispy daikon strips from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Season immediately with additional salt and black pepper to taste while still hot.
Step 8
Allow them to cool to room temperature before serving. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Step 9
Serve as a crunchy topping for salads, meats, or enjoy them as a keto-friendly snack.
