Lo bak go (pan-fried turnip cake)

Method

1. 1 Soak dried shrimp and shiitake mushrooms for 20 minutes until softened, then chop them finely; dice the Chinese sausage.
2. 2 Shred the white radish and cook it with a little water over medium heat for 12 minutes until translucent and tender.
3. 3 Sauté the Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and mushrooms until fragrant, then add them to the pot with the radishes. Season with salt, sugar, and pepper.
4. 4 Mix rice flour with tapioca starch and cold water, then gradually pour it into the pot, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens like a paste.
5. 5 Pour the mixture into a greased mold, spread evenly, steam over high heat for 45 minutes, then let cool completely until the cake sets (ideally, refrigerate overnight).
6. 6 Cut the pancake into thick slices, pan-fry each side for 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, sprinkle with chopped scallions and serve hot.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 1 hr 56 min
