Red pearl onion - 1 small, chopped

Steps:

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.

You can steam the cake again to serve directly. I prefer to slice it and pan-fried it.
