👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated daikon radish. Reserve the liquid.

In a wok or large pan, heat 1.5 Tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic, sauté until fragrant. Add the diced Chinese sausage, rehydrated mushrooms, and chopped dried shrimps. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until aromatic.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 3
Add the squeezed daikon radish to the wok. Stir in oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice flour, corn starch, and 300ml of the reserved daikon liquid (add more water if needed to reach 300ml). Ensure there are no lumps.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: The batter should be smooth and pourable. - 5
Pour the flour mixture into the daikon mixture in the wok. Stir continuously over low heat until the mixture thickens into a cohesive mass. Remove from heat.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Stir constantly to prevent lumps and ensure even cooking. - 6
Grease a steaming pan or dish (approx. 8x8 inch square or similar). Transfer the turnip cake mixture into the pan and press down firmly to create an even layer. Smooth the top.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Using a spatula helps to pack the mixture tightly. - 7
Steam the turnip cake over high heat for 45-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to firm up.
⏱️ 1 hour💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Chilling is essential for easy slicing and pan-frying. - 8
Once chilled, cut the turnip cake into 1-inch thick slices or cubes.

Heat 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the turnip cake slices in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
⏱️ 8 minutes💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. - 10
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped spring onions or cilantro if desired. Often served with chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can add finely chopped preserved radish (cai poh) or shiitake mushrooms.
- ✓If you don't have Chinese sausage, omit it or substitute with finely diced cooked ham.
- ✓Ensure the turnip cake is well-chilled before frying for the best crispy texture.
