Trim and peel the mouli and cut into small cubes. Using a food processor or
blender, mash the radish as finely as possible. This will have to be done
in 2 batches. Mix the mouli thoroughly with the rice and what flours and
turn the mixture into a shallow tin or heatproof dish, about 20cm square;
it should come about 2cm up the sides. Heat up a steamer and steam the cake
for about 30 minutes from the time the steamer is hot. If you are using a
thicker dish you will have to steam it for a little longer. When an
inserted knife comes out clean, remove from the heat and allow to cool and
dry out completely. It will set more solidly as it cools. Cut the cake into
rectangles about 1 inch or so.
In a wok heat half the oil. Add the radish cake pieces, stirring and
turning constantly, fry until they are browned on all sides. Remove from
the pan and set aside. Add the rest of the oil and reheat. Add the garlic
and fry until golden brown. Break in the egg, stir to mix and cook for a
few seconds until the egg starts to set. Add the reserved fried radish
cakes and mix. Quickly add both the soy sauce, sugar, pepper, beansprouts
and spring onions. Mix quickly and thoroughly. Turn on to a serving dish.
