Radish cake is a Cantonese-style home-cooked snack that often appears on the dining table. There are different ways to evolve from traditional radish cake, but all of them lack rich radish aroma. Radish cake can be eaten directly with different sauces, and the dishes derived from it are countless. Although we often taste delicious radish cakes in restaurants, in fact, its practice is not very complicated and it is not difficult to make them at home. This time, let's try to make delicious radish cakes together.

The main ingredient of radish cake is, of course, the white radish that everyone loves. Nowadays, there are more and more varieties of vegetables on the market, and there are many delicate and lovely radishes, which taste more crisp and sweet. However, radish cakes made from these radishes can't actually give full play to their strengths, but the most common and cheapest white radish is a leader. When choosing white radish, it is absolutely unacceptable to choose green leaves, plenty of water and holes in the inside, which is commonly known as "Kang radish", which will greatly affect the taste of radish cake.

Another main ingredient for making radish cake is sticky rice flour. Although it is possible to buy sticky rice flour directly to make radish cake, the taste of radish cake made from sticky rice is slightly better than that made from sticky rice flour. In addition, besides sticky rice flour, a small amount of corn flour should be added to make radish cake, which can make the radish cake soft and elastic, and also increase the transparency of the finished product.

In addition to white radish and sticky rice noodles, radish cake also uses many seasoning accessories. Traditional radish cake needs mushrooms, small onions, dried shrimps and pork stuffing, while Hong Kong-style radish cake needs bacon and dried shrimps.

The tools for making radish cake are very simple. Traditionally, it is only necessary to use steamer and drawer cloth. If steamer is not used, other molds can be used, and drawer cloth can also be replaced by plastic wrap.

Put 300g sticky rice into a large bowl, add enough water (less than m 1 finger depth) and soak for at least 6 hours.

Filter out the soaked sticky rice with a sieve, put it into a blender and add 400ml of cold water. Start the blender to beat the sticky rice into fine sticky rice slurry.

Filter the stirred sticky rice slurry with a fine screen or drawer cloth to remove coarse sticky rice particles.

Add 50g of powdered orange into the sticky rice slurry and stir evenly for later use.

Traditional radish cake and Hong Kong-style radish cake have different ingredients and slightly different steps, but in general, the principle is the same.
