Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Pickle the daikon and carrots
- Scrub or peel the daikon; cut the daikon into matchsticks.
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.
- Chicken breasts or pork loin chops: Pat the meat dry with a paper towel; cut into 1-inch strips. 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.
- Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel. Season 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.
