Turnip cake, also known as lo bak go, is a savory dim sum dish made from shredded turnip, rice flour, and various other ingredients. The turnip is stir-fried with Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and mushrooms, then mixed with the rice flour to form a thick batter. The batter is then steamed until it becomes firm and set. The resulting cake is sliced into squares or rectangles and pan-fried until crispy on the outside. Turnip cake has a unique texture and a savory flavor that is enhanced by the umami from the Chinese sausage and dried shrimp. It is a popular choice for dim sum lovers looking for a savory option.
