Dim Sum Turnip Cake Recipe (Lo Bak Go) ขนมผักกาด - Chinese Recipe - Pai's Kitchen

I am honoured to be sharing my mother in law's famous turnip cake recipe! This is a classic dim sum dish, but it's something my MIL always makes for us every Chinese New Year. Honestly, I've never had a version at any restaurant better than hers, which is why I insisted on going over to her house to watch her make it, so that I know exactly how to make it and can pass it on to the next generation. This is a family classic that has to live on!
If you've never had turnip cake (also known as daikon cake and lo bak go), it may not sound like the most delicious thing at first. But trust me, with the addition of dried shrimp, scallops, Chinese sausage and shiitake mushrooms, this is one of the most umami-filled comfor foods. There's a reason why it's a classic!
