May I please have a recipe for turnip cake?!


Question: Thank you.


Answers: Thank you.

2-3 Tb Small Dried Shrimp(optional - also soaking them in hot water for 20-30 minutes and draining is optional, we didn't do this)
2 1/2 - 3 cups(lightly packed) Coarsely shredded Daikon Radish
1 Lup Cheong(Chinese sausage) finely diced
2 Green Onions (include white parts) finely sliced
1-2 Tb Cilantro - finely chopped
2 Cups Rice Flour (* Important note - use rice flour, do not use sweet/glutinous rice flour)
1 Tsp salt(adjust up if not using shrimp)
1/2 Tsp Sugar
1/4 Tsp Ground White Pepper
1 1/2 Cups Water
Vegetable/Canola Oil

1 - Place shredded radish in a small pot or saucepan with water. Bring mixture to a boil, than reduce the heat to a low and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Remove radish from liquid(do not discard the cooking liquid) and place in measuring cup. Add in cooking liquid to bring the amount to approximately 3 cups. Let the mixture cool to a lukewarm temperature.

2 - While radish is cooking, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet or wok. When oil starts to smoke add the Lup Cheong,Green Onions, and Dried Shrimp. Stir fry for 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from heat and stir in Cilantro.



3 - Get the steamer going.

4 - In a bowl mix the rice flour, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Add the radish and cooking water, and stir to a batter-like consistency. Add the Lup Cheong mixture to the batter and mix. Pour mixture into a 8x8 cake pan, or a 9 inch round cake pan.

5 - Place cake pan into steamer, and steam at a medium-high boil for 35-45 minutes.

6 - Once done, remove the turnip cake from the steamer and let cool.



Once cool, you can cut into squares and fry, or fry, than add egg, or whatever preparation you desire.

Here's a site I found. I usually go to the Foodnetowrk.com for all my recipes, but they only had turnip cake with oysters and I'm pretty sure you didn't want that :-)

This is one of the simplest ways to make it. Directions are clear and easy to follow:

It even has the Nutrition Facts. This recipe will make 4 servings. Double the ingredients if you want a bigger cake.

So you need a recipe for vomit?
