Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Rinse scallops, dried shrimp, and dried mushrooms under cold water quickly. Soak them in 1 cup of hot water until fully hydrated: 3 hours for scallops, and about 1 hour for mushrooms and shrimp. Drain, reserving the soaking water for later.
- Peel the daikon and shred it into juliennes or grate it finely.
Cooking
- In a wok, over medium-low heat, cook the diced Chinese sausage until browned and fragrant for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in your chopped mushrooms, scallops, and shrimp, sautéing for another 3 minutes.
- Toss in the shredded daikon, stirring until it wilts. Add reserved soaking water, cover, and cook for 7-10 minutes until the daikon softens.
- Return the daikon to the wok and measure the cooking liquid to ensure it’s 1 cup.
- Blend the mushroom mixture into the daikon, adding the sugar, salt, pepper, and oil. Mix until combined.
- Warm your reserved daikon liquid and whisk in the rice flour and tapioca starch until smooth. Combine this with the daikon.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until it thickens to a paste-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Grease a cake pan with oil and pour in the daikon mixture, smoothing the surface.
- Place the pan in a steamer and steam for 1 hour over boiling water.
- Check for doneness with a thermometer (minimum 200°F) or skewer. Let it cool completely before cutting.
Serving
- Slice into 1-inch pieces. Pan-fry them until heated through and golden-brown on both sides. Serve with soy sauce and hot sauce.
Notes
Invest in high-quality ingredients, and once cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
