Tips

*One serving is enough to make six boxes of turnip cakes.
*If the conpoy and dried shrimp water are not enough, you can use chicken consommé instead.
*It is best to buy one extra radish for each serving of radish to keep it from the back, as some radishes will be bitter.
*Radish water is about 800-1000 ml
