Turnip cake, also known as "loh bak go," is a savory dish originating from Chinese cuisine, commonly enjoyed during dim sum meals. Despite its name, it typically features grated daikon radish—not turnips—mixed with rice flour to form a batter. Ingredients such as dried shrimp, Chinese sausage, or mushrooms are often added for flavor. This mixture is steamed and then pan-fried, resulting in a crispy exterior and a tender inside. Turnip cake is a good source of carbohydrates from the rice flour and offers small amounts of protein and fiber from the additions like radish and mushrooms. However, it can be high in sodium due to seasonings like soy sauce and the inclusion of salted toppings. The frying process adds extra calories and fat. While delicious, moderation is key for those managing calorie or sodium intake. Turnip cake is a well-loved comfort food packed with flavor and tradition.
