Instructions

1. Put the shredded daikon, shrimp, bacon and green onion into a bowl and mix well with a spatula.
2. Add the flour and salt and mix thoroughly so the flour is evenly distributed with no clumps.
3. Heat a medium pan (about 23 cm / 9 inches) with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat.
4. Spread the mixture in the pan into a round pancake about 2 cm / ¾ inch thick.
5. Smooth the top and the edges of the mixture with the spatula.
6. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 3 minutes.
7. Check that the bottom is browned; if needed, cook about 1 minute more.
8. Holding the pan handle, shake the pan to move the cake away from the handle, then flip it upside down in one quick motion.
9. Cover and cook for 3 more minutes.
10. Move the cake to a cutting board and cut it into 16 pieces: 4 strips one way, then 4 pieces from each strip.
11. Reheat the same pan over medium heat, adding sesame oil if there is not a little left.
12. Return the pieces to the pan, stand each one upright with tongs or cooking chopsticks, and lightly brown the cut sides.
13. Move the pieces to a serving plate and serve with a dipping sauce.
