Daikon and plain rice flour form what Chinese dim sum dish?
Turnip cake Turnip cake () is a Chinese dim sum dish made of shredded radish (typically Chinese radish) and plain rice flour. The less commonly used radish cake is a more accurate name, in that Western-style turnips are not used in the dish; it is traditionally called carrot cake in Singapore. It is commonly served in Cantonese "yum cha" and is usually cut into rectangular slices and sometimes pan-fried before serving. Each pan-fried cake has a thin crunchy layer on the outside from frying, and is soft on the inside. The non-fried version is soft all over. It is one of the standard dishes found in the dim sum cuisine of Hong Kong and China as well as overseas Chinatown restaurants. It is also commonly eaten during Chinese New Year, since the word for radish (菜頭, "chhài-thâu") is a homophone for "good fortune" (好彩頭, "hó-chhái-thâu") in the Hokkien language. In Taiwan, turnip cake is also commonly eaten as part of a breakfast.
