Cooking steps

1

Peel and grate the daikon radish. Squeeze out excess moisture and reserve the juice.
2

Soak dried shiitake mushrooms until tender, then finely dice. Thinly slice scallions.
3

In a nonstick pan over medium heat, sauté mushrooms and scallions with 1 tbsp oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add grated radish and reserved juice, season with salt, sugar, and white pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring to reduce moisture.
4

In a bowl, whisk rice flour with water until smooth. Gradually stir the hot radish mixture into the slurry, mixing thoroughly. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
5

Steam the mixture for 60 minutes over high heat. Let cool completely (preferably refrigerate for easier slicing).
6

Unmold and cut radish cake into 1-inch cubes. Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high.
7

Add cubes in a single layer and fry, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6 minutes.
8

Transfer to a plate and drizzle with soy sauce or serve on the side.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this Fried Radish Cake Cubes recipe?

Daikon radish is the foundation of this dish, giving the cake its distinct flavor, tender interior, and subtle sweetness. Combined with rice flour, it creates the classic dim sum texture and character.

Q. How do you get the perfect crispy edges while frying the radish cake cubes?

To achieve crispy, golden edges, fry the cubes in vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet so each piece browns evenly. Turn the cubes occasionally and fry until all sides are crisp, usually about 6 minutes.

Q. How can I prevent the radish cake cubes from falling apart while frying?

After steaming, cool the radish cake fully—chilling in the fridge helps firm up its structure for clean slicing. Carefully cut into cubes and handle gently when pan-frying to avoid breakage.

Each serving contains about 260 kcal, with 38g of carbohydrates (59% of calories), 4g protein (6%), and 10g fat (35%). The dish is carbohydrate-focused, with a moderate level of healthy fats from vegetable oil.
