White Radish Slices Recipe

White Radish Slices Recipe

• 5g green tea rubs (a mixture of green tea leaves, sugar, and spices)
• 1 large white radish , peeled and sliced into thin rounds
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Optional: 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

1. Prepare the Green Tea Rubs:
   • Combine the green tea leaves, sugar, and spices in a small bowl to create the green tea rubs. This mixture will be used to season the white radish slices.
2. Season the Radish Slices:
   • Pat the radish slices dry with paper towels. Rub the green tea rubs all over the radish slices, pressing the rubs into the flesh to ensure they adhere well.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.
4. Simmer the Sauce:
   • Stir in the chicken broth, white wine (if using), soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook the Radish Slices:
   • Add the seasoned radish slices to the skillet with the sauce. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the radish slices are tender and slightly translucent.
6. Finish and Serve:
   • Transfer the radish slices to a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over the radish slices. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and, if desired, toasted sesame seeds.
7. Serve Immediately:
   • Serve the White Radish Slices immediately, enjoying the tender, flavorful radish with the rich, tangy sauce and the subtle hint of green tea from the rubs.
