This savoury cake is often called “turnip cake” and is made with Chinese turnip, a large white radish (also know as daikon or mooli). Our version uses the ordinary salad radish.⠀

Traditionally, various dried ingredients are used in this cake, such as shrimp, mushroom, or hard-dried sausage.⠀

Dried ingredients provide more Umami than raw ingredients. This is because the drying process increases and concentrates the amount of Umami elements.⠀
