Steamed Turnip Cake (萝卜糕)

Ingredients:

Rice flour - 2 cups
Tapioca starch or Corn starch - 1/2 cup
Water - 2 and 1/2 cups
Turnip - medium size, about 750 g after peeling
Salt - 1 tsp
White pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Dried shrimp - 2 TBSP
Dried mushroom - 4-5 medium size
Cantonese style sausage - 2 sticks, diced
Red pearl onion - 1 small, chopped

Steps:

1. Soak dried shrimp and mushroom until they are soft. Dice the mushroom.
2. In a mixing bow, mix rice flour, tapioca starch, and add water.
3. Peel the turnip and use a cheese grater to shred it.
4. In a frying pan, add oil and stir fry onion, shrimp, mushroom, and sausage. Then take them out and put aside.
5. In a frying pan, stir fry the shredded turnip until it is cooked. Then add in the ingredients from last step. Add salt and white pepper powder.
6. Turn off the heat, and stir in the rice flour mixture from step 2.
7. Coat a 9" cake pan with oil, and pour the barter in the pan.
8. Steam at high heat for 40 minutes. Let the cake cool thoroughly before taken out of pan.
You can steam the cake again to serve directly. I prefer to slice it and pan-fried it.
