heifeng Posted September 28, 2006 at 09:45 AM Report Posted September 28, 2006 at 09:45 AM well I'm pretty sure it's not going to be from a Chinese website, have you never tasted Chinese-style western pastries (blaaaah, huuuuurl, aaaargh) Quote
owshawng Posted September 28, 2006 at 11:02 AM Report Posted September 28, 2006 at 11:02 AM Try http://www.epicurious.com. Has 18 carrot cake recipes. Quote
Koneko Posted September 29, 2006 at 03:57 PM Author Report Posted September 29, 2006 at 03:57 PM No, not western-style sweet carrot cakes. I am actually looking for oriental style savoury carrot cakes with sausage meat, dried shrimps in them. ;-) Quote
yonitabonita Posted October 2, 2006 at 08:15 AM Report Posted October 2, 2006 at 08:15 AM Are you sure you mean carrot cake then? Do you mean the little squares that are steamed and then fried and served at Yum Cha? I could be wrong, but to me, your description sounds like either "Lor Bak Go" or "Wu Tuw Go" (my own phonetic Cantonese). Both of which come from the carrot family but neither of which are carrots. Wu Tuw (kinda purplish grey) is yam, and Lor Bak (off white), I think is turnip - though someone might correct me on this. Referring to a savoury dish as 'cake' could be a bit confusing too. I've never seen a standard translation of this dish, I think perhaps referring to it as a Yam Pattie might be a little closer to the mark. Sorry to say I have no recipe, but hopefully this post might get you a bit closer to what you're looking for. Y Quote
adrianlondon Posted October 2, 2006 at 10:20 AM Report Posted October 2, 2006 at 10:20 AM Chinese carrot cake? No way! They'd probably serve it sliced in a bowl of oil with chillies floating in it. You mean taro root cake, I reckon. The stuff with bacon in it, and shallow fried. I can't access the site for some reason (it probable says the cake was invented in Taiwan or something and is tripping the firewall) but I reckon you'll find it here : http://chinesefood.about.com/library/blphototarorootcake.htm Quote
Koneko Posted October 2, 2006 at 01:10 PM Author Report Posted October 2, 2006 at 01:10 PM Hi Y! I think it's turnip cake!! That's right with Chinese sausages in it!! K Quote
wiz_oz Posted October 3, 2006 at 10:31 AM Report Posted October 3, 2006 at 10:31 AM "Carrot" cake is actually made from radish and not carrot or turnip. Check out this link for a recipe: http://kuali.com/recipes/viewrecipe.asp?r=269 Quote
geraldc Posted October 3, 2006 at 08:11 PM Report Posted October 3, 2006 at 08:11 PM A few people I know put their recipes in this discussion thread, so they've been tried and tested. Quote
