How to make savory rice cakes:

Step 1: Prepare a bowl, pour both wheat and rice flour into the bowl, then add coconut milk and filtered water, add a pinch of salt, sugar for taste, and stir until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Place a large tray in a steamer, grease it evenly to easily remove the cake later. Pour 1 cup of batter into the steamer for about 7-10 minutes until it sets, then pour the second layer, gradually until you feel the desired thickness. Let the last layer steam for about 15 minutes to cook evenly. When the cake is cooked, let it cool and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Marinate minced meat with spices according to your taste, then let it sit for about 15 minutes.

Step 4: Let's start making the dumpling filling. Soak the dried shrimp in water for about 30 minutes until they become tender, then rinse thoroughly to remove excess water.

Step 5: Dice the taro, sweet potato, and onions into small pieces. Finely chop the garlic. Soften the dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water, then rinse and cut them into small pieces. Heat oil in a pan, sauté the garlic and purple onions until fragrant. Add the meat and cook until it's nearly done. Then, add the soaked shrimp and shiitake mushrooms, stir continuously, season with spices once again, and turn off the heat.

Step 6: Let's make the fish sauce. Mix 1 tablespoon of water + 1 teaspoon of vinegar + 3 teaspoons of sugar + 4 teaspoons of fish sauce until the mixture dissolves. Then, add finely chopped chili + garlic to the mixture. Finally, add a few carrot strips. Season the sauce to taste.
