Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Daikon

    Peel the daikon radish and slice it into thin strips resembling bacon.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, smoked paprika, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Daikon

    Place the sliced daikon into the marinade and let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.
