The Family Lo Bak Go Recipe! | Turnip Cake (萝卜糕) | The Woks of Life

This savory turnip cake (sometimes called radish cake), or lo bak go (萝卜糕) in Cantonese, is a very traditional dish often served at dim sum houses, and when I was a kid, it always showed up on the table on Chinese New Year’s Day. As a result, it’s been etched in my mind as a wonderfully delicious tradition. Restaurant versions of this dish may scratch the itch but they just can't compare to our homemade recipe!
