How to Make Chinese Turnip Cakes (蘿蔔糕) | Dim Sum Style
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Growing up, my grandma made the best Turnip Cakes. She would cook them around Chinese New Year as a tradition for good luck food. But you can oftentimes order this dish at Dim Sum restaurants too. In this recipe I'll show you her recipe on how to make these Turnip Cakes from scratch.
The full Printable Recipe is on my website: www.angelwongsk...
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. bag of rice flour amzn.to/1DdIJsd
- 2 lb. Asian turnips or daikon radish
- 4 cups of water (reference video for details)
- 3 Tbsp. dried shrimp
- 3 links of Chinese Sausage
- 1 Tbsp. dried shallots
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. white pepper
I'm using an 8x8 glass container for steaming the Turnip Cakes: amzn.to/1whzz6t

This is the easiest turnip cake I've seen. No crazy ingredients or extra steps. Thank you.
Grandma's cooking is the best. I'm so happy to see traditional Chinese dishes being kept alive.
DELICIOUS! We tried this recipe tonight and it was SO YUM! I had to add more water with the rice flour because after adding my 2 cups (part shrimp juice/water), the mixture was still very very thick, not as liquid looking as in the video. So I added a splash more of water but drained a little of the turnip stock. We didn't have white pepper, so we skipped on that, and I used garlic chinese sausage (DELICIOUS) and we used fried garlic, instead of shallots. Sadly our square pyrex didn't fit into our steamer! (darn!) so we ended up using round glass bowls, and made THREE turnip cakes! lol, lots of eating and gifting :) THANKS ANGEL!
Yum, grew up eating that. Now, living in the States, I have to make my own.
I made this 3 days ago and it was SOOOO good, all my family members were impressed, also it tastes good with some soy paste

+Lydiaaa.xoxo I'm glad you and your family liked the recipe. :)
This recipe is very good and easy to follow.
Thank you for your generous sharing that made this cooking of the Turnip Cake so simple and easy to follow. I even used part of it and fried it with a battered mixture of Egg, some chopped-up Garlic, Shallots and Chilli Sauce. Tastes yummy! Bless You!
This recipe duplicates, what I’ve had in dim sum, restaurants in Kansas City, Minneapolis, and San Francisco. Exactly what I wanted. In my opinion, it tastes better if you let it refrigerate overnight and then in a pan in the next day. I also portioned two person servings and froze them. Worked great.
I love this recipe. Brings back many memories when we went for dim sum on Sundays. Ay yah! So good!
Brings memories when I eat that.
I made turnip cake several times, always referring to your recipe, always successful. Thank you.
I cooked mine in the rice cooker and it came out easily!
‘Loving’ the 'Chinese Turnip Cakes' they look "Absolutely Bodacious" 👍😄
I lived in Taiwan for two years and lately I’ve been dying to have some more of these cakes. Thanks for the awesome video!
I just made this. Compared to what I usually eat at dim sum restaurants, these are quite floury. I would definitely recommend reducing the amount to taste the turnip.
I made this but instead of dried shrimps, I used shredded carrot. (shellfish allergy) Thanks Angel Wong!

EdwardandJocelyn Tan Hi Jocelyn - I'm glad to hear the turnip cakes and miso ginger tofu turned out well. Thanks for leaving a note! :)
Thank you for sharing this recipe! :) I made it yesterday and it was delicious. The soft texture was particularly enjoyable. I did use fresh shallots as I didn't have dried - I just fried them in the oil from the Chinese sausage. Thanks again from me and my family!

I made this the first time by memory. I now know what I missed, cooking turnip first before combining ingredients. Oh well, better luck next time! 🙃🙂😋
My favorite dim sum,thanx for the recepies
I love these!
Congratulations! Well organized. Clearly explained. Good diction. Thanks for a good demo.
Love Turnip cake! Promise to make next weekend!
I do not eat pork, so I used spicy turkey kolbasa and I also added some green onion in with it, Amazing! Thank you...

I tried someone else's recipe today and the cake didn't firm up (probably because the amount of rice flour it called for). I will try yours next. This is one of my favorites at a dim sum place.
Aa, as always it looks super easy to make and I want to. But I'm so lazy and it's so readily available here...I'll probably try making it when my parents visit! Food tastes better when you cook for and share with others anyway. so hungry...
lol I also hate the grinding radish part as well. Took me forever...so I got my mum to do the dirty work for me. It looks so easy to her 😉 By the way you don't have to chuck away those end bits. All you have to do just use a knife and chop them to fine. It works the same. Also, I would save some of those cooked Chinese sausage mixture and put them on top of the cake Right before steaming. It makes the cake look so much nicer.

If you can get your hands on a food processor, it makes the grinding a breeze!! My mom made it that way and she learned late in life.

Awesome! My grandma is about 90 but we grandkids (about 11 of us) never learned stuff like this...now I can try and make this for her for 2016 CNY :) (plus maybe some of the other 8 things you suggest in that recent vid upload)
Definitely going to try this. Thanks Angel for the recipe : )
My father loves this dish but he had mobility issues so going out to dim sum is hard for him so with this I will make this for him and surprise him on his birthday which is later this month.
I'm so glad that you made this recipe! I ate these in Taiwan and I've been craving for some since they're not available here. Hopefully mine comes out successful! :D
I love ordering these when I'm eating dim sum!
Thanks Angel! Love your recipes thanks for sharing your grandma's recipes with the rest of the world :) I actually made it a few days ago and everyone loved it. I thought it was very tasty as well just the way it is. But I think I may have over cooked it..keke I will try your suggestions. Thank you!
Thanks made it yesterday although didn't look as good as yours. mine was a bit mushy but it was alright.
Looks delicious! Great tutorial!

thanks for the video. Just want to confirm that you need 2 cups of water for the batter and then 2 cups of water to boil the turnip, i.e. 4 cups of liquid in total. thanks

I would like to clarify the total amount of water .1 pyrex cup is 600 ml of water .so 4 cups is 2400ml of water.i think it is too much water.will need a lot of time to cook the mixture Maybe total of 2 cups is enough Pl advise. Thanks
How should I modifiy these to make them breakfast radish/turnip cakes like I get in Taiwan with my 蛋餅? Those ones generally don't have sausage or shrimp in them. Do I just remove those ingredients or do I need to add something else to replace the flavor?
ermahgahd yum!! Thanks for this post! My grandmother says shes too old to make these any more and so the only time i get to enjoy is when my 7 yr old and I go to dim sum and we stock up to bring home. Ive tried a couple different recipes but not one could suffice for my taste buds. I am excited to try this recipe I just came across your channel and subscribed. my family on mother side is from Taiwan... mom never shared much of the culture with me other than cooking but she holds out on some recipes!! lol so once again thank you for sharing with us here.... Im wondering, for my son, if you have the knowledge and time to may be show us how to make crab claws??? we would greatly appreciate it!

Angel, this is my FAVORITE Dim Sum dish!! I can't wait to try it! Is it better to let it cool overnight? I'm pretty impatient so I want to make it and eat it today! :)
"You'll know when it's done when you taste it." Me: never tasted it before...
Thank
Great video love the channel :):)
Did you mix the 2 cups of water from 4 cups? You just showed us the 2 cups of water to mixed rice flour. How about 2 cups with water that soaked with dried shrimp? 4 cups of water in your list
Yummy 😋
I do not have a steamer big enough for my pyrex. I will try steaming it in a water bath in the oven...Was interested if anyone has tried to do it in this way before?

L Adam Yes! This was one of my favourite snacks from living in Taiwan, so when I came back to Australia I wanted to make it. I don't have any of the proper equipment, so I used a narrow cake tin inside my heavy duty casserole dish and filled with water and cooked in the oven. It works perfectly :-)

Hi! I did many cakes, how long are they durable? (Freezer and fridge) Would the taste stay the same if I keep them in the freezer? Would the cakes be longer durable, if I haven't steam them?
One of my favorite dim sum dishes. Didn't know it took this much prep to make though! Where's the oyster sauce this is usually paired with?
Por favor, puede escribir los ingredientes en español? Gracias!
I make this but it doesn't make hard a bit it's to soft I cannot fried it .
Hi Angel, I love all your recipes! I was wondering besides the sausage, can I substitute other meats like chicken or beef?

Hi Angel, does more water equate to a more fluffy texture? Vs. more dense. Thanks for this recipe!
Hi Angel, I'd love to give this a try but do you know if glutinous rice flour is an ok substitute? Thanks and I'll try it when I get a chance!
