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 using Ninja Foodi Pressure Cook function. Started with Sear/ Saute mode to stir fry the ingredients, then switch to pressure cook. I like this deep pot, it's easier to stir-fry the ingredients in this ceramic-coated pot which is non-stick, I can use very little oil for stir-frying. 

The Ninja Foodi multi-cooker that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one pot, it's super-efficient and time-saving. Besides pressure cook and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, and keep warm. I also use it for stir-frying dishes with 5 adjustable heat levels. Overall, Ninja Foodi is a good all-in-one product, just like a portable kitchen with a rice cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer, oven and stovetop functions, reasonable price, and highly versatile.

Method: 步骤

1. Peel and shred radish. This can be done using a blender, it's much faster than shredding manually. Squeeze out excess water and set aside. Sieve flour, salt and white pepper, set aside.

This is the blender that I'd recommend: NINJA FOODI POWER BLENDER ULTIMATE SYSTEM - CB402

The blender can be purchased from Ninja Kitchen Official Website. Cart out with Promo Code: MIKISNSG to get a 10% discount for any Ninja-Shark products via their website.

2. Use Ninja Foodi Sear/ Saute(HI) mode, heat some oil in the inner pot. 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 in Ninja Foodi for 15 minutes. Ninja Foodi is a very useful all-in-one appliance that replaces your Pressure Cooker, Air Fryer and Slow Cooker. You can grill, steam, bake, roast, pressure cook, air fry, slow cook, all in one compact kitchen machine with 8 customizable cooking functions. You can also use Ninja Foodi STEAM function to steam the radish cake.

5. 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 Air-Crisp in the Ninja Foodi before serving. Taste superb!
