Nutritional values

Mustard oils determine the spicy taste of radishes and stimulate the liver to produce digestive juices. At the same time, the dietary fiber contained in radishes gently stimulates a tired intestine.

Not a fan of Cilantro? Then simply use flat-leaf parsley instead for the chukaman preparation.

Preparation steps

1.

Sift the flour into a bowl. Add yeast, sugar, 1 pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon oil, and 8 ounces lukewarm water and knead everything into a smooth yeast dough. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.

2.

Meanwhile, clean, wash and grate radishes, mix with 1 pinch of salt, remaining sugar and vinegar in a small bowl and let stand.

3.

For the filling, finely grind cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar. Wash coriander, shake dry, pluck leaves and coarsely chop 1/4; set aside the rest. Peel and dice onion. Peel ginger, cut chili peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds, wash and chop both. Coarsely dice tofu. Put everything into a blitz chopper together with soy sauce and chop not too finely.

4.

Divide dough into 8 portions, shape into balls, flatten, fill with tofu mixture in center and fold dough in around filling. Shape round again and let rise for about 15 more minutes.

5.

Flatten dough slightly and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Steam in a bamboo steamer over boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Then heat remaining oil in a frying pan. Lightly brown chukaman in it on both sides in 2-3 minutes over medium heat.

6.

In parallel, wash and quarter cherry tomatoes. Wash arugula and spin dry. Arrange chukaman on a platter, garnish with cilantro and tomatoes set aside and serve with the radishes.
