Description
Turnip cake, despite its name, is actually a cake made from shredded Chinese radish and rice flour. In dim sum, turnip cakes are pan-fried, forming a crunchy exterior while maintaining a soft interior. It is usually served in rectangular or square slices. It is eaten during Chinese New Year as the Chinese word for radish is a homophone for good fortune.
