Fish cutlets with shrimps and daikon
2 servings
60 minutes
Fish cakes with shrimp and daikon are an exquisite dish of Chinese cuisine, combining the tenderness of fish, the sweet taste of shrimp, and the crunchy freshness of daikon. The recipe's origins lie in traditional fish cooking methods where simmering in broth and aromatic spices reveals deep flavors. The cakes, fried to a golden crust, absorb a rich broth with soy sauce and white wine, gaining softness and a rich aroma. Daikon added at the end gives the dish a special texture and freshness. Serving with mustard and parsley complements the flavor composition, making it an excellent choice for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering.
