Ingredients

• 2 cups Daikon radish
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1/2 cup Shiitake mushrooms
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp White pepper
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Chili sauce

Steps

1. Grate the daikon and simmer it in its own juices 10 minutes until translucent and tender.
2. Whisk the rice flour with 1 cup water, soy sauce, and white pepper into a smooth slurry.
3. Stir the slurry into the hot daikon with the diced shiitake; it thickens into a paste.
4. Scrape into an oiled loaf pan and steam over boiling water 30 minutes until firm and set.
5. Cool completely, then chill 1 hour; cold cake slices cleanly.
6. Cut into 1/2-inch slabs and pan-fry in sesame oil 3 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
7. Serve hot with chili sauce and sliced scallions if you like.
