WebApr 6, 2019 · Clean the Instant Pot inner pot. Add 1 cup (250ml) cold water and a trivet in the Instant Pot Inner Pot. Layer the turnip cake pan on …

1. Pressure Cook Turnip: Add 1 cup (250ml) cold water and trivet in Instant Pot Inner Pot. Layer the stainless steel bowl of 1.45 lb (650g) Chinese turnip julienne on the trivet. Close lid and turn Venting Knob to Sealing position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 10 minutes + Quick Release. Turn Venting Knob to Venting Position to quickly release the pressure. Carefully open the lid (avoid dripping the condensation on the turnip!)
2. Create Rice Flour Mixture: While the Chinese turnips are pressure cooking, create the Rice Flour Mixture. In a large mixing bowl, add 1/3 lb (150g) rice flour, 2.5 tbsp (30g) water chestnut flour, 1 tbsp (15g) sugar, ½ tsp (1.5g) white pepper, 1 tsp - 1.5 tsp (5g - 7.5g) table salt. Give it a quick mix with a spatula. Pour ⅓ unsalted chicken stock in the rice flour mixture. Mix thoroughly with a spatula. Pour another ⅓ unsalted chicken stock in the rice flour mixture, then mix thoroughly again. Repeat this one more time, so a total of 1 cup (250ml) unsalted chicken stock are added into the rice flour mixture.
3. Saute Cured Meat: After the Chinese turnip is done pressure cooking, set aside the turnip and trivet. Discard the water, then towel dry the inner pot. Add in 2 (80g) chopped Chinese Sausage (臘腸) and 2.5 tbsp (40g) chopped Chinese Cured Meat (臘肉). Heat up Instant Pot using Sauté More function. *Tip: For older version, press “Saute” button, then “Adjust” button. For newer version, press “Saute” button twice.Wait a few minutes until the cured meat begins to release oil. Then, add in 2 - 3 tbsp (30g) dried Shrimp (蝦米) and optional 10g cooked conpoy (乾瑤柱). At the 3 - 4 minutes mark, add in 2 tbsp (30ml) peanut oil and 2 tsp (10ml) roasted sesame oil. Saute for another minute. Add in cooked turnip and all the turnip liquid (if any). Let them cook for another 2 minutes. Ensure to completely deglaze the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
4. Create Turnip Cake Batter: Pour ⅓ portion of the hot turnip/cured meat mixture in the rice flour mixture. Mix thoroughly with a spatula. *Pro Tip: You don't want to pour all the turnip in at once because the heat will cook the rice flour mixture. Pour another ⅓ portion into the rice flour mixture and mix thoroughly again. Repeat this one more time, so all the turnip, cured meat, and liquid are added into the rice flour mixture. Mix thoroughly, then pour the turnip cake batter in a cake pan. Add some more dried shrimps on top.

1. Prepare two 8-inch round baking pans by brushing the insides with vegetable oil.
2. Add 2 cups of water and the ginger to a medium-sized pot, bring it a boil, then let it simmer for 10 minutes over low to medium heat with the lid covered. Turn off the heat, and stir in the brown sugar and allspice until the sugar is dissolved completely. Remove the ginger slices. Now add 1 1/2 cups of cold water to cool down the mixture so its warm, not hot.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the two kinds of flours together and then slowly add in the sugar water mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth (without any lumps). Now stir in the vanilla extract, molasses, orange zest, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil until thoroughly combined. The resulting batter should have a consistency similar to condensed milk. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more water a couple tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
4. Pour the batter evenly into two foil pans. Gently tap the pans against your countertop to get rid of air bubbles. Top each pan with three decorative dates in the center, if using. Put both pans in a double-decker bamboo steamer and steam for about 1 hour on high heat (the water should be boiling, but should NOT be bubbling high enough to touch the foil pans). You might need to add water into the steamer midway to avoid having the water dry up and burn your bamboo steamers.
