This one is going into my “Grandma Stephy’s Recipe Book”. Yes, I have a notebook that I have started a few years ago, where I write down some of my favourite recipes. I don’t care if people don’t use paper and pens 200 years later. My great-great-great-great-great- grandkids will read and try out this recipe book.
Chinese New Year is coming up again (January 28th, 2017 this year). So in hopes of staying on top of things, I’ve started prepping for it. I’ve already made my “Nin Go making Kit” (I measured out all the ingredients so that it’s SO much faster to make. For my recipe, go here .) and I wanted to add “Lo Bak Go” to my Chinese New Year food this year.
“Lo Bak Go”, or Chinese Turnip Cakes, is a type of savoury cakes that you can often find at Chinese dim sum. If you’ve never had it before, think of it as a “meat loaf” type texture, but made with mostly turnips rather than meat. It can be served steamed or pan fried. I personally like it steamed, with a little bit of soy sauce. Soft, warm, and savoury.
