Fried Carrot Cake (Chai Tow Kueh)
I promised I'll share with you my favourite 'carrot cake' recipe of all--the fried eggy version of radish cake using the same steamed one I made earlier...first, cut the radish cake into cubes and shallow fry them till slightly browned on all sides. Next, break in about two eggs and let it sit in your wok surrounded by the cubes (low fire) till the eggs set a little. Stir fry a little more and mix well, sprinkle in confetti bits of preserved turnip (chai po) and add the following seasoning according to taste: sweet kecap manis (sweet soy), soy sauce, dash of white pepper and a few teaspoons of crushed chilli if you like. Garnish with sprigs of coriander and onion chives. Voila! You've just dished up one of Singapore's best loved hawker fare at your table, homemade with love.
