Myriad Foods Turnip Cake

Myriad Foods Turnip Cake is the beloved Cantonese lo bak go, a savory cake built from shredded white radish, also called daikon or Chinese turnip, bound with rice flour. The radish cooks down to a sweet, mellow softness, lending the cake a delicate vegetal aroma and a smooth, dense interior that turns crisp at the edges when fried.

Cut the steamed cake into thick slices and pan-fry in a little oil until both faces are golden and lightly crusted. This is a dim sum classic, served with oyster sauce, soy, or chili oil for dipping. It is also welcome at a weekend brunch or as a savory companion to morning congee and tea.

Each package holds 23 oz, enough for around a dozen slices to share at the table. Store it in the freezer and cook from slightly thawed for cleaner cuts. The cake is made from white radish, rice flour, and savory seasonings, setting it apart from the taro-based and vegetarian versions in this lineup.
