Fried radish cake (菜头粿) from Rasa Malaysia

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Agaillard on May 29, 2017

    I decided to try this as I am on a strange impulse these days about finding different ways to cook radishes than just dipping them in salted butter. I found roasted recipes and now... this! I somehow ended up subbing rice flour for cornstarch as I discovered I had no flour at home of any kind. Bad idea. The texture was all plasticky! Fortunately this does go away while heating. In the end, with all the seasoning, it turned out to be a very enjoyable meal! I will make again (if only to use the correct flour). That being said, I think the cake alone is pretty bland, it is the seasonings that make it. My roommate is from Hong Kong and confirms, and his girlfriend hates the cake. My roommate told me his father usually puts sausage into it to make it more tasty. Nevertheless, I think the recipe is great and overcomes this thanks to the seasoning. The egg also in the end is a nice touch (but odd). I actually want to add crushed peanut as a finishing touch and next time I will do!
