Notes
Insert a chopstick into the centre of the radish cake. If the chopsticks are not sticky with the cake mixture, it means they are ready.
When steaming radish cake, pay attention to the evaporation of water in the wok. It is best to top it up with hot water every 15-20 minutes to prevent it from drying out.
After refrigerating, it can be cut into pieces and pan-fry to serve.
The amount of shredded white radish and strips can be adjusted according to personal preference.
