Steamed Lobak (Radish) Cake 【腊味萝卜糕】



Steamed radish cake (Lobak kuih) is something I never missed when I go for Chinese dim sum. 

It is also not very difficult to make at home, though. You can also turn it into fried lobak kuih the next day, a good breakfast choice I dare say.

萝卜糕是我每次去喝广式早茶必定要点的点心之一,稍稍煎过之后更是香气十,
怎么吃都不够。
萝卜糕在家里制作其实不难,花点时间蒸一盆,还可以变化出炒萝卜糕和鸡蛋萝卜糕呢!是早餐很好的选择。秋天是萝卜丰收的季节,趁萝卜肥美的时候做一盆腊味萝卜糕,早餐就有啦!

6. Steam the cake at high heat for 1 hour. Let it cool down completely before taking it out from the pan. 

1. 萝卜去皮擦丝后加一杯水(或者鸡汤)煮成透明状。
2. 锅里下一点点油把咸肉爆香之后倒入其他的材料一起倒入炒。加入五香粉和胡椒粉,把刚刚煮好的萝卜丝倒入锅里,加入葱酥。

You can serve it fresh with chili sauce or hoisin sauce. Or shallow fry till it turn golden colour.


用油煎香更好吃。
