Steamed Radish Cake aka Carrot Cake/ Lo Bak Go 蒸萝卜糕
It's also a Lunar New Year staple because the word for radish (菜头, chhài-thâu) is a homophone for "good fortune" (好彩头, hó-chhái-thâu) in Hokkien language, older generation used to make and giveaway to relatives and friends. In Singapore and Malaysia, we hardly call this Radish Cake, it's more commonly known as Carrot Cake aka Lo Bak Go 萝卜糕 in Cantonese.
I did this few weeks ahead of Chinese New Year, I made three, one for photoshoot + tea time, one for breakfast on the next day and packed one for a friend for taste test. Their feedback as follow....
...and my son who normally doesn't eat radish cake, love this!
I steamed the radish cake using Song Cho IDEAL wok. It is a flat based stainless steel wok that can be used to do more than just simple stir-frying. A multiply stainless steel wok without chemical coating, so it's safe to use in any cooking and ideal for steaming too.

2. Add some shallot oil in Song Cho Ideal Wok, turn on medium heat. Add in dried shrimps and Chinese sausage, stir fry till fragrant. Set aside.
用松厨IDEAL万能锅以冷锅下葱油，稍微烧热油，加入虾米和腊肠，爆香。备用。
3. In the same wok, add in shredded radish, stir fry for 10 seconds. Add in 100g chicken broth and sifted flour. Gradually stir in chicken broth till the mixture is thick and pliable. Stir in dried shrimps and Chinese sausage. Remove from heat.
同一个锅里，加入萝卜丝，翻炒10秒。加入100克鸡汤和粉类，慢慢加入适量的鸡汤，拌均至浓稠。加入虾米和腊肠，拌均。离火。
4. Grease 3 x 4" round pan with shallot oil. Transfer the batter into 3 pans evenly.

6. When the steaming is over, remove the radish cake from heat. Let it cooled completely on the rack, about 2-3 hours for the radish cake to set. Garnish with spring onion, chilies and fried shallot before serving. You may store the radish cake in the refrigerator to serve later. Slice and pan fry with some oil to crisp up the surface before serve. Taste superb!
