Steamed Cabbage Cake

I've done steamed yam cake and radish cake, and this is the first time I come across this steamed cabbage cake! Surprisingly it turned out really tasty as the texture is not too soft nor stiff. Tasted quite similar to steamed radish cake, but I find this steamed cabbage cake tasted much more sweeter as daikon radish usually gives a bitter after taste. Even my kids love this steamed cabbage cake and we have this for lunch and the leftovers,  I pan-fried it till crisp and golden for breakfast the next day!



The ingredients : rice flour, potato starch, dried mushroom, chinese sausages, black fungus, dried shrimps, carrot, garlic and cabbage

Stir-frying the fillings, add in mixed batter and fry till thickens
