Steamed Radish Cake 蒸萝卜糕

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Chinese New Year celebration during the holidays but Lunar New Year is still not over yet 😀 Here I’m going to share some recipes with you in the next few posts that I prepared for CNY. Steamed Radish Cake or turnip cake (蒸萝卜糕) is one of the popular snacks in Chinese dim sum restaurants. I like to make this delicious savory cake for Chinese New Year. It’s easy to make and can be steamed ahead of time (about a week), wrapped with cling wrap and stored it in the refrigerator. When you are ready to serve it, cut the radish cake into required sizes and pan fry them.
