Chwee Kueh (Steamed Rice Cake)

Deceptively simple and utterly addictive. These small, bowl-shaped steamed rice cakes have a soft, pudding-like texture with a characteristic dimple on top that cradles a generous heap of stir-fried chai poh — diced preserved radish that's been wok-fried until sweet, savory, and slightly caramelized. A spoonful of sambal chili on the side brings heat and brightness.
