Kung Hee Fat Choy



For Chinese New Year, I decided to make Lo Bak Gow, which is turnip cake.  A lot of people that I talk to seem to think that it's difficult to make, but it's not....  it just has a lot of steps.  You need to grate a daikon (I grate about half, and cut the other half in chunks), then boil for 10 minutes in just a little bit of water.  Then you stir fry some green onion, dried shrimp, lup cheong and shiitake, all minced finely, and add to the boiled daikon.  Next you need to incorporate rice flour until it's thicker than pancake batter, and pour into a well oiled pan.  You steam this pan for 50 minutes, and remove and let the cake rest before flipping over to remove the cake onto a cutting board.  Cut into blocks, and fry in a cast iron pan until a crust forms.
