Whisk the rice flour, cornstarch, salt, and water until smooth.
Pass the mixture through a sieve and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Oil small metal bowls and divide the rice batter among them.
Steam the cakes for 18 minutes, then let them rest in the molds for 5 minutes.
Rinse and squeeze the preserved radish, and finely chop the garlic.
Fry the garlic and preserved radish in the vegetable oil for 10 minutes, then add the soy sauce and granulated sugar.
Unmold the rice cakes, spoon the radish topping over them, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Stir the rice batter before pouring it into the molds; if the starch sinks, the centers of the cakes turn firm.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chwee kueh hot for breakfast with chili sauce, optional cucumber, and unsweetened tea.
