Method
Preparation
- Rinse the dried scallops, shrimp, and mushrooms under cold water quickly, then soak them in 1 cup of hot water for at least 1 hour (3 hours for scallops) until fully hydrated. Reserve the soaking water.
- Shred the scallops, finely dice the mushrooms, and chop the dried shrimp.
- Peel the daikon and shred it into juliennes.
Cooking
- In a wok, cook the Chinese sausage over medium-low heat until browned (about 5 minutes), then add the mushrooms, scallops, and shrimp. Sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove the protein mixture from the wok and add the julienned daikon, tossing for 2-3 minutes until it’s slightly wilted. Pour in the reserved soaking water and cover, cooking for 7-10 minutes until the daikon is soft and translucent.
- Drain the daikon cooking liquid into a bowl, allowing it to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the daikon with the sautéed shrimp mixture, sugar, salt, pepper, and oil off heat.
- Whisk the rice flour and tapioca starch into the warm daikon liquid until smooth. Carefully add it to the daikon mixture, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Turn the heat back on to medium and cook, tossing the combined mixture for about 2 minutes until thickened.
- Grease a pan generously and pour the mixture in, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Steam over boiling water for 1 hour.
- Once done, let it cool for at least 30 minutes, then cut into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and fry the slices until browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes each). Serve hot with soy sauce and sweet Sriracha for dipping.
Notes
Be patient while steaming; the waiting will reward you with a delightful treat! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month before cooking.
