Ingredients:
- one large mooli
- an equal volume of rice flour
- a pint of water for the rice flour paste
- some dried shrimps, soaked
- some dried mushrooms, soaked, reserve the mushroom water on one side
- 1.5 cups of dried onion
- 250g of bacon or Chinese sausages, cut into small chunks
- Extra water for boiling the mooli
Methods:
- Prepare two same size bowls. Into one bowl shred or grate or chop the mooli into pieces approx 30mm long and 5mm thick.
- Fill the other bowl with rice flour to about the same level as the grated mooli in the first bowl.
- We used a pint of water to mix the rice flour into a smooth paste
- Put the chopped mooli in a large pan and add water until it is level with the mooli, boil this for 10 minutes or until the strands of vegetable break easily when bent.
- Fry the bacon in another pan, add in the chopped shrimps, then mushrooms, when it’s all looking well done add the dried onions for a minute of cooking.
- Add the contents of the frying pan to the other pan and mix it all together on a medium heat, just for a few minutes until mixed thoroughly. Transfer the complete mixture to a large square dish to be steamed.
- After 10 minutes of steaming check the water level, after 20 minutes the Turnip Cake will be finished steaming. Once it’s cool you can cover and refrigerate it.
- The next day your Turnip Cake is ready to be fried.
