Chinese New Year Turnip Cake

Recipe by: Carol, Chung Chi Wa

Be the first to review it!

This recipe is handed down from my mum's mum. This is NOT a dessert (not sweet), but more like a 'quick bread' for the Chinese. This 'cake' is usually made and eaten during the Chinese New Year or its slices are usually found all year round as dim sum in Chinese restaurants. This cake can be kept for 1 week in the fridge (but usually it's finished within a day!!)

Chinese Tea Leaf Eggs

One of my favourite dishes when I head back home; it combines hard-boiled eggs with the subtle flavour of anise and the deep brown hues of black tea and soy. The cracked patterns from the broken shells make these quite attractive! I eat these sliced in quarters and chilled as a side dish, starter or snack. Recipe courtesy of Mum.

These Chinese dumplings, known as shao may or shiu may, have a chicken filling, which is lighter than the traditional pork mixture.

Follow this recipe carefully and you will be rewarded with comforting, fluffy and tasty Chinese steamed buns. "Hom Bao" refers to any filled Chinese buns, but if you want to fill these with traditional barbecue pork filling before steaming, follow the recipe for Char Siu Bao, also on this site.
