Turnip or Radish Cake with Chinese Sausages

This turnip cake or radish cake (Law Bak Gou 蘿蔔糕) is not only popular during the Chinese New Year but it is also one of the famous dim sum here in Hong Kong, served either steamed or pan fried throughout the year.

I particularly love to make this cake during winter when the turnips are most juicy and sweet. Like the Water Chestnut Cake, this can also be prepared in advanced and be stored in fridge for 1 to 2 weeks, allowing me to serve my family and friends any time they are ready to be my guests during the holidays. Happy!
