Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If salting the radish seems too time-consuming, you can steam the radish directly in the steamer until all the moisture has evaporated, then mix it with the flours.
  • Since canned ham already contains salt, avoid adding additional seasoning when sautéing the ham and mushrooms to prevent making the dish overly salty.
  • Using only glutinous rice flour may result in a sticky, weak texture, so combine it with potato starch, wheat starch, and wheat flour to achieve better consistency and firmness.
  • The finished radish cakes can be made in large batches, frozen, and reheated by pan-frying as needed—perfect for a convenient anytime snack.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a unique dish using sweet, flavorful winter radish.
  • People who enjoy the Hong Kong-style dim sum texture of crispy exterior and chewy interior.
  • Individuals looking for a convenient snack they can prepare in bulk, freeze, and quickly pan-fry whenever hungry.
