Fried Radish Cake/ Char Kueh Kak 炒粿角

Char Kueh Kak is a very famous Penang/Teoh Chew street food. It has got its name Kuah Kak (sides of the cake) from steamed radish cake, where the cake was steamed in a round bamboo basket back in the old days. Once cut into diamond or rectangular shapes to be serve or sell in the market, the remaining sides that are left will then be cubed and made into this delicious fried Cake.

Since the fried cake has become increasingly popular, plain or simple rice cake without radish is now commonly use to make this dish, thus you can also use shop bought (vietnamese) rice cake as substitute to the radish cake I used here.

炒粿角是一款和炒粿条齐名的槟城小吃，古早时候是用家里制作的“菜头粿”（萝卜糕）边角切丁炒制而成，所以有“粿角”的名称。

目前小吃摊买的粿角大多是用粘米粉蒸制成的粘米糕（也叫白糕）切丁炒制的了。时间久远，慢慢地，粿角成了粘米糕的代名词。而几乎所有的炒粿角都必定是用粘米糕制作的了。

我前阵子蒸了一大盆的腊味萝卜糕，第二天就做了这款炒粿角当早饭，非常好吃哦！

4. 加入萝卜糕丁，大火翻炒香之后，加入1-1.5大勺的酱汁翻炒。（萝卜糕和菜脯碎都带有咸味，所以可以根据口味增减酱汁）。

5. 把粿角/萝卜糕推到一边，打入鸡蛋。想要吃辣的现在可以加辣酱，把鸡蛋炒散，再加入1/2 tbsp的酱汁，加入韭菜和豆芽，炒至断生即可。
