Recipe

Cut radish into 3cm cubes for easy blending in a mixer, and thinly slice the red chili pepper for garnish.
Place the radish in a bowl and blend it in the mixer without adding any water until smooth.
Mash 80g of tofu evenly with the back of a knife and add it to the bowl with the blended radish.
Add salt 1/3 tablespoon and sugar 1/2 tablespoon, gently mixing to evenly season the radish and tofu mixture.
Gradually add glutinous rice flour 1 cup in portions while checking the consistency, mixing until you achieve a firm yet chewy dough.
Heat a frying pan over high heat and add generous vegetable oil. Using a spoon, scoop out bite-sized balls of the mixture and shape them into rounds.
Top each pancakes with a thin slice of red chili pepper as garnish, then pan-fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve on a plate.

Dice radish into 3cm pieces, blend without water until smooth, and mash tofu evenly.
Mix the blended radish and tofu with salt, sugar, and glutinous rice flour gradually, stirring until you get a firm, chewy dough.
Fry the pancakes in a well-oiled pan over medium heat, topping with sliced red chili pepper, and cook until golden on both sides.

Cooking tips

Adjust the amount of glutinous rice flour gradually based on the radish’s moisture level to achieve the right consistency.
Preheat the pan thoroughly before cooking, then reduce heat to medium to prevent burning the outside while ensuring the inside cooks through.
