Gourmet Vegan Daikon Steak Recipe | Bold Flavors, Tender Bites

🔔Daikon, a long white root vegetable with a hint of sweetness and peppery flavor, is commonly used in East Asian cuisine with soy sauce-based beef or pork stew. In this vegan recipe, I've adapted it with a Western cooking method. I make the vegetable stock from scratch and prepare the sauce separately, using cornstarch to thicken it easily. I pan-fry sliced daikon and then bake it in the oven to ensure it's tender.
To serve, you can either pour the sauce over the daikon slices individually, like steak, or place everything in a bowl to share and pour the sauce over the top. Hope you like it.
