Every year, Jenny steams a pot of radish cake for the New Year, usually using store-bought rice flour. This year, Jenny decided to grind her own rice instead of using rice flour, resulting in a slightly different texture reminiscent of the radish cake her mother used to make. Making radish cake for the New Year is a way to wish for good fortune!

Tips

Radish Cake Made with Rice
Ingredients: 1 pound of rice, 3 pounds of radish, salt, oil, pepper, can make about 5 pounds of radish cake

Instructions:

Pot B: Wash 1 pound of rice and soak it in 5 rice cups (900 grams) of water for 3-4 hours, then blend into rice slurry.

Pot A: Peel and shred 3 pounds of radish. Cook the radish shreds with a little oil and 2 rice cups of water until soft (about 10 minutes). Add seasoning (12 grams of salt and some pepper). Turn off the heat.

Pour Pot A into Pot B and mix well.

Pot C (inner pot of a rice cooker): Grease Pot C, pour the mixture from A+B into it, place Pot C in the rice cooker, add 2.5 cups of water to the outer pot, and steam for 40-60 minutes. Check if it's done by inserting a chopstick; if it doesn't stick, it's ready! Don't rush to remove the cake from the pot; let it sit until the next morning before inverting it out.

Dipping Sauce: Mix soy sauce with a little sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
