Chef's Tip
To get a nice brown sear on the protein, dry it as thoroughly as possible, and give the pan plenty of time to heat before you start cooking.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Pickle the daikon and carrots

  • Scrub or peel the daikon; cut the daikon into matchsticks.
In a large bowl, combine the daikon, carrots, and quick-pickle brine. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep and cook your protein

  • Steak, chicken, or pork strips: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Shrimp: Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes for steak, shrimp, pork, or tofu and 6 to 8 minutes for chicken. Remove from the heat, stir in the hoisin sauce base, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare the lettuce.

3

Prep the lettuce

  • Trim the root end from the lettuce; separate the leaves.

Serve

Transfer the lettuce leaves to individual plates and top with your protein. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pickled daikon and carrots from the brine and place them on top of your protein. Add as much sambal mayo on top as you like.
