Daikon Series: Stir-Fry Radish Cake
This is the sequel of my radish cake's affair. Other than the pan fried radish cake which I shared in my earlier post (check out post), another best way to enjoy the radish cake is through stir-fry. Stir-fry radish cake is also one of the popular dishes to order in most of the dim sum restaurants.
One of the key ingredients for the stir-fry radish cake is actually the preserved turnip. Preserved radish is pretty common ingredient for Asian cooking and can be easily found in most of the Asian grocers. They are preserved food with high contain of sodium, hence, you will need to soak them in the water and rinse them under the water few times to mellow down the saltiness taste before you can use them for cooking.
No special technique required for the stir fry. However the sequence of the ingredients added into the wok must be taken note, in order to avoid bitter taste garlic or burned preserved radish.
