Radish Cake

Low Carb Radish Cake is a savory Chinese breakfast dish that combines the earthy flavors of radish with a delightful, tender texture. This nutritious option is perfect for those seeking a healthy alternative to traditional cakes.

Ingredients

• Daikon radish - 200 grams, grated
• Almond flour - 70 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - for frying

Steps

1. Grate the daikon radish and place it in a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated radish, almond flour, eggs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Pour half of the radish mixture into the skillet and spread it evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
5. Carefully flip the radish cake using a large spatula and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining mixture to create a second cake.
7. Slice and serve warm, optionally with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar.
