What is "turnip cake" (luo bo gao), and how is it usually served?

Turnip cake, or “luo bo gao,” is a traditional Chinese dim sum dish made from grated daikon radish and rice flour. The mixture is seasoned with ingredients like dried shrimp, Chinese sausage, and mushrooms, then steamed until firm. After steaming, the turnip cake can be sliced and pan-fried until crispy on the outside. It is typically served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and sometimes garnished with scallions. Turnip cake is often enjoyed during dim sum meals or as a savory snack.
