Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
Soak the dried shrimp and dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for at least 20 minutes before preparing them as indicated in the ingredient list.
Uns 20 min
Nota de cuina: Soaking rehydrates the ingredients and makes them easier to chop.
2
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil for sautéing over medium heat.
Uns 1 min
3
Add the chopped shallot and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Uns 1 min
4
Add the diced Chinese sausage, chopped dried shrimp, and diced mushrooms. Sauté for 4 minutes until aromatic, then remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Uns 4 min
5
In the same skillet, add the grated daikon radish and the water for cooking. Bring to a simmer.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: No need to clean the skillet; the leftover flavors will enhance the daikon.
6
Cook the daikon for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent.
Uns 10 min
7
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, cornstarch, salt, sugar, and white pepper.
Uns 2 min
8
Gradually whisk the batter water, light soy sauce, and sesame oil into the flour mixture until the batter is smooth.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Whisking gradually prevents lumps from forming.
9
Pour the hot daikon mixture and the sautéed aromatics into the batter. Stir vigorously until everything is well-combined and thickened.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: The heat from the daikon will start to cook the flour, which is normal.
10
Lightly oil a 20cm (8-inch) loaf pan or square pan and pour the batter in, smoothing the top.
Uns 2 min
11
Steam the cake over high heat for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Uns 50 min
Nota de cuina: Check the water level in your steamer halfway through to ensure it doesn't boil dry.
12
Carefully remove the pan from the steamer and let it cool completely to room temperature.
Uns 2 h
13
Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the cake is completely firm.
Uns 2 h
Nota de cuina: Chilling is essential for clean slicing; do not skip this step.
14
Invert the chilled cake onto a cutting board and slice it into 2cm thick pieces.
Uns 5 min
15
Heat the vegetable oil for pan-frying in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Uns 1 min
16
Pan-fry the slices in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Don't overcrowd the pan, as this prevents the slices from getting crispy.
17
Transfer the fried turnip cake to a plate and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
