Recipe: Yummy Daikon Mochi Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Daikon Mochi. This easy fried Daikon Mochi using a fresh and juicy daikon radish is a Japanese-style Chinese Turnip Cake or radish cake also known as "law bok gow." Originally, turnip cake is steamed in a container but today we're pan-frying it to make quick and easy daikon mochi. Daikon radish mochi cakes with dried shrimp or bacon chips are delicious too, but I love plain ones that really highlight the flavor of the daikon radish. Use a heatproof container or any suitable container you have as a mold.

It is a rubbery chewy thick paste made of steamed short-grain glutinous rice pounded.
