Method
- 1 Grate the radish into shreds and cook with 150 ml of water for 12 minutes until clear, reserving all the radish water.
- 2 Sauté the Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and chopped shiitake mushrooms for 5 minutes until fragrant.
- 3 Mix the rice flour with the hot radish juice, then stir everything together until you have a thick, smooth mixture.
- 4 Pour the mixture into a 4 cm thick mold and steam for 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean; if cooked through, it's done.
- 5 Let it cool completely before slicing and serving with oyster sauce — the steamed version is soft and smooth when eaten immediately, unlike the version that is chilled and then pan-fried until crispy.

Replace step 4: steam the radish cake mold under high pressure for 20 minutes, then release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes; step 5 still requires it to cool completely before cutting.
