Ingredients
- 200 g Daikon radish, raw
- 60 g Rice flour

- 10 g Vegetable oil
- 1 g Salt

Method
- Peel and coarsely grate the daikon radish (used for this cake despite its English name); simmer it with the water for 8-10 minutes until softened, keeping the liquid.
- Rehydrate the dried shiitake, then finely dice it with the salami, standing in for Chinese sausage; fry both in half the oil until fragrant.
- Whisk the rice flour into the reserved daikon liquid to make a smooth batter, then stir in the cooked daikon, salami, shiitake, chopped dried shrimp, salt and white pepper.
- Pour the thick batter into an oiled dish, smooth the top, and steam for 45-50 minutes until firm and set all the way through.
- Cool completely, ideally for a couple of hours, before turning out and slicing into thick pieces.
- Pan-fry the slices in the remaining oil until golden and crisp on both sides, then scatter with the scallion and serve.
