Steamed Rice Cake


Rice Cake batter ingredients:
200g rice flour
40g corn flour
800ml water
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp cooking oil


1. Mix the two flours into a bowl and pour about 300 ml water. Mix well until they form into a smooth batter.
2. Bring the remaining 500ml water, salt and oil to boil. Reduce heat to low and pour in the batter. Stir until it thickens. It will become a bit lumpy but it is ok.
3. Pour the batter into a greased heat proof tray. Place on a steamer and steam for about 30 minutes.
4. Cut into desired shape and serve with radish topping and fried shallots.

I serve mine with a sprinkle of sweet soy sauce.

Radish Toping ingredients:
5 cloves garlic (chopped)
50g preserved radish/chai poh (chopped)
50g dried shrimps (pounded)
2 red chilies (chopped)
5 bulbs shallots (thinly sliced)
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt

1. Fry shallots until slightly brown and set aside.
2. Fry garlic until fragrant. Add in the radish and fry for about 5 minutes.
3. Add in the dried shrimps and chilies. Fry for another 5 - 7 minutes..
4. Finally add in the oyster sauce, sugar, salt.
