Loh Bak Goh aka Turnip Cake


Kung Hei Fat Choi !!!!

This dish is quiet popular during Chinese New Year  . As with taro cake , it's also steamed before frying but in Chinese resto , they also served it steamed with some spring onion on top and drizzled with soy sauce .

This recipe too wet , adjust the water if using this recipe .


Recipe from Sharp Daily ( one of the free Chinese dailies here )

  2. Sometimes I do not know what to do with turnips. This one I really want to try in winters. Can I use something else in place of sausages.

  6. @ Balvinder Ubi , just use dried mushrooms , dried shrimps & dried scallops and just omit the sausages ;) Add diced carrots & spring onion for more color :)
