Ingredients
- 300 g rice flour plain
- 1000 g radish aka daikon/turnip, fresh, long type
- 800 ml water including water squeezed from white radish
- 3-4 shiitake mushroom middle size
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder can be replaced by white pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon dried shrimp pre-soaked
- 100 g Chinese sausage
- 1/4 red onion middle size
- 3 green onions
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- vegetable oil as needed
- 1 tablespoon cooking wine
Instructions
- In a small bowl, soak the dried shrimp until softened. Set aside, drain well and cut both shrimp and shiitake mushroom into really small cubes.
- Peel all the skin of radish and then use a shredder to finely shred the radish. If you do not want to taste any radish texture in the final cake, shred the radish as small as possible.
- Transfer shredded radish in a large pot or bowl, spread salt on the surface and rub with hand. Set aside for around 20 minutes to 30 minutes until the radish shreds are totally softened.
- To prepare the side ingredients: in a small pan, add around 1/2 tablespoon oil and then fry onions, dried shrimp, sausage and shitake mushroom until aroma. Set aside.
- Squeeze the water out and transfer to another large mixing pot. Mix all the flour with the water squeezed out from the radish and the left water. Add radish shreds and Chinese five spice powder. Mix well and heat over medium fire to boil.
- Add other side ingredients and mix well.
- Brush some oil on your container and then transfer the mixture to the container. Steam for around 50 minutes; absorb any water on surface with a clean gauze or towel.
- Cut into slices around 1.5 cm in thickness after cooling down.
- Pan-fry until slightly brown on both sides. Sprinkle some chopped green onion and serve with your favorite tea.
