Dim sum is a traditional Chinese meal that consists of small plates of dumplings and other snack dishes served with tea and is typically eaten between the hours of late morning and lunchtime. Chinese turnip cake, also known as radish cake, is a savoury rice cake filled with cured meat, radish, dried mushrooms, and dried shrimp. This is a popular dim sum dish and also Roland’s favourite. We skipped the Chinese mushrooms from our recipe because we didn't want an overpowering mushroom flavour in our turnip/radish cake but if you like, feel free to add them. In some countries, turnip or radish cake is a traditional Chinese festive dish served during Chinese New Year.

See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
