Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated turnips and rice flour. Mix well until the turnips are evenly coated with the flour.
-
In a separate saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Slowly pour the boiling water over the turnip and flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to rest for 15-20 minutes to cool and thicken slightly.
-
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced shiitake mushrooms and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine the seasonings with the mushrooms and garlic.
-
Pour the seasoned mushroom mixture into the turnip and flour mixture. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
-
Grease a rectangular baking dish or a steaming tray with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Pour the turnip mixture into the dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
-
Prepare a steamer and place the baking dish or steaming tray inside. Steam the turnip cake over high heat for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is set and cooked through.
-
Once the turnip cake is cooked, remove it from the steamer and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a cutting board and slice it into serving portions.
-
Heat some vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the turnip cake slices until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Transfer the crispy turnip cake slices to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors and textures of this Best Turnip Cake!
