Shredded Radish Pancake

Shredded Radish Pancake

　　The shredded radish pancake is a traditional snack from Wuxi. In terms of preparation, the radish is washed, shredded, and lightly salted to draw out some moisture, which is then squeezed out. Minced scallions are added to the radish. Meanwhile, flour is mixed with cold water to create a paste-like batter. An oval-shaped tin mold is used — the bottom is coated with a layer of batter, then filled with the shredded radish mixture, and covered with another layer of batter. It is then fried in oil until golden brown and removed from the mold. The result is a delicious and tasty treat.
