Please do not take this as a suggestion to try this recipe as it is an adaptation of the original using the ingredients that were available to me. I have never made nor eaten these before so I'm not sure if they turned out correctly.
I am including it simply to catalog the recipes I have used for our CSA veggies.

In short... I'm not sure I like the finished product here.

1/2 cup crab meat in oil (in place of dried shrimp)
1 large daikon radish, shredded
1 handful dried shitake mushrooms
2 green onions finely sliced
2 cups non-glutinous rice flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp honey (in place of sugar)
1 1/2 Cups Water
12 very mini hot dogs (This is all I had that was remotely similar to sausage) [this is in place of Chinese sausage]

Start by soaking the shitake mushrooms in hot water 20 -30 mins.

In the meantime, peel and shred the daikon and place it in a small saucepan with water. (You can use a cheese shredder for this) Bring mixture to a boil, than reduce the heat to a low and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Remove radish from liquid (do not discard the cooking liquid) and place in measuring cup. Add in cooking liquid to bring the amount to approximately 3 cups.

Drain the mushrooms and squeeze out excess liquid. Dice the mushrooms.


Heat your pan and add in the crab, sausage and black mushrooms. Cook for Approximately 2 minutes then add the green onion and honey and cook for 30 seconds more.

Start the steamer. I used a large pan with a rack and covered it.

In a bowl, combine rice flour and salt. Add the radish and cooking water, and stir to a batter-like consistency. Stir in the hot mixture. Pour mixture into a 8×8 cake pan, or a 9 inch round cake pan.

Place the pan into the steamer and steam at a medium boil for 35 - 45 mins.

Remove from steamer when ready and let it cool. Once cold, cut into square pieces or wedges and pan-fry until it starts to brown and get crispy on both sides.

If you were to use dried shrimp (Which I would suggest if they are available) you will want to soak them at the same time as the mushrooms and use a bit of oil to fry them with the sausage, mushrooms and onions.
