Radish Cake aka Lo Bak Go 萝卜糕 [Ninja Foodi/Pressure Cooker Recipe]

This is a Lunar New Year staple because the word for radish (菜头, chhài-thâu) is a homophone for "good fortune" (好彩头, hó-chhái-thâu) in Hokkien language, older generation used to make and give away to relatives and friends. In Singapore and Malaysia, we hardly call this Turnip/ Radish Cake, it's more commonly known as Carrot Cake aka Lo Bak Go 萝卜糕 in Cantonese. Usually made by steaming, this time I tried another method. Started with stir frying the ingredients, then switch to pressure cook.

Method: 步骤

1. Peel and shred radish. Squeeze out excess water and set aside. Sieve flour, salt and white pepper, set aside.

2. Heat some oil, add in dried shrimp, mushroom and Chinese sausage, stir fry till fragrant. Set aside.

3. Add in shredded radish, stir fry for a minute or so. Add 100g chicken broth and sifted flour. Gradually stir in chicken broth till the mixture is thick and pliable. Stir in dried shrimp and Chinese sausage. Transfer to a 6" cake pan. 

4. Pressure cook for 15 minutes. When it's done, remove the cake pan from the pot. Let it cool completely on the rack, about 2-3 hours for the radish cake to set. Garnish with spring onion, chillies and fried shallot before serving. You may store the turnip cake in the refrigerator to serve later. Slice and reheat before serving.
