Ingredients

Proteins

  • 2 pieces Cured pork sausage (lap cheong)
  • 1 piece Cured duck liver sausage (run cheong)
  • 30 g Dried shrimp
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce

Aromatics

  • 3 pieces Shallots
  • 0.5 tsp White pepper

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 250 g Rice flour
  • 50 g Wheat starch
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 0.5 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil

Vegetables

  • 5 pieces Dried shiitake mushrooms

Other

  • 1.5 kg White radish
  • 700 ml Water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak dried shrimp and dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water until softened. Squeeze excess water from dried shiitake mushrooms, remove stems, and dice them. Dice the dried shrimp.

  2. 2

    Dice cured pork sausage and cured duck liver sausage into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Peel and shred white radish.

  4. 4

    Heat cooking oil in a wok or large pan. Sauté diced shallots until fragrant. Add diced cured pork sausage, cured duck liver sausage, dried shrimp, and diced shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry until fragrant and slightly crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.

  5. 5

    In the same pan, add shredded white radish. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the radish softens and releases its moisture. This will take about 15-20 minutes.

  6. 6

    In a large bowl, combine rice flour, wheat starch, and water. Stir until a smooth batter forms. Add salt, sugar, white pepper, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked radish (and its liquid) and the sautéed cured meats mixture back into the flour batter. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.

  8. 8

    Grease a heatproof steaming dish or loaf pan. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Steam over high heat for 60-70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. 9

    Let the turnip cake cool completely before slicing. For best results, pan-fry slices until golden brown and crispy before serving.
