Mod de preparare
Pas cu 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.
Aproximativ 20 min.
Nota bucătarului: Soaking rehydrates the ingredients and makes them easier to chop.
- 2
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil for sautéing over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 3
Add the chopped shallot and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 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.
Aproximativ 4 min.
- 5
In the same skillet, add the grated daikon radish and the water for cooking. Bring to a simmer.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: No need to clean the skillet; the leftover flavors will enhance the daikon.
- 6

Aproximativ 10 min.
- 7
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, cornstarch, salt, sugar, and white pepper.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 8
Gradually whisk the batter water, light soy sauce, and sesame oil into the flour mixture until the batter is smooth.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 11
Steam the cake over high heat for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Aproximativ 50 min.
Nota bucătarului: Check the water level in your steamer halfway through to ensure it doesn't boil dry.

- 13
Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the cake is completely firm.

Aproximativ 5 min.

Heat the vegetable oil for pan-frying in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

- 16
