Sinkie best carrot cake stalls

[Narong Wongwan]

Any recipes for the carrot cake (radish) itself? Tried unsuccessfully many times. :(

You mean the steamed kway? Actually think the trick to a good dish is the kway....but can buy from supermarket those ready made ones....i dun have the recipe for the kway...only cooking instructions for 'white' version



Serves 2
Ingredients
500 gram of ready made (or homemade) carrot rice cake, cut in cubes
2 large (or 3 medium eggs), lightly beaten
3 cloves of chopped garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of chopped preserved radish aka "Chai Por" (菜脯, Chinese pronounced as "Chai Boo"), steeped, and mixed with sesame oil
2 tablespoons of fish sauce (鱼露)
1 tablespoon of light soy sauce
1 tablespoon of chilli paste (*amount adjustable to desired spiciness)
Pinch of sugar

3 tablespoons of cooking oil

Garnish
Spring onion, julienned

Method
1) Rinse a few times, or steep chopped preserved radish in a bowl of water for 5 minutes. Drain well (squeeze to dry) and sprinkle few drops of sesame oil. Reserve for later.

2) Heat wok with 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. Add in diced carrot cake and sauté for about 8 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. Stir-fry accassionally to avoid sticking. Heat off, and set aside.

3) Heat a large frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil over high hear. Add in garlic and stir fry till fragrant.

4) Add chopped preserved radish and stir fried till fragrant and looks grossy. Then, add in chili paste. Return sauteed carrot cake and stir fry to combine well. Drizzle some oil if finds too dry.

5) Drizzle fish sauce, stir fry a few times, followed by adding of light soy sauce and sugar. Stir fry to combine well. Then, spread the carrot cake pieces nicely on the pan, and lightly press with the back of the spatula. Let it pan fry for 1 - 2 minutes. May drizzle more oil or just water to moist the carrot cake.

6) Break eggs into a small bowl and beat it lightly with a fork. May add some light soy sauce and pepper, if desired. Pour eggs solution over the carrot cake. Let the eggs set and cook (without stiring) till semi done. Divide the carrot cake to quarters using the spatula, for easy fliping. Flip over the carrot cake portions, and let it cook till both sides are cooked and golden browned. Heat off. Transfer to serving dish, garnish and serve hot.

Lavander hawker center, stall next to a stairwell, about two stalls away from the famous wanton mee stall. Fried by one stout uncle.

1. Still you couldn't get the message, the hawkers donch want to sell to you and want to avoid you, so all close down and went into hiding.

2. Start exploring the world. Ask your parents for permission and easylink card to let you take bus and MRT, on your own.

i heard it is very hard to make carrot cake, is it true, i want to make some for myself, because my fav carrot cake store, closed down. I do not know where she go. But she is gone.

Carrot cake easiest to cook. First thing a just arrived Ah Tiong hawker assistant learn. Now most stalls add dried belacan chilli prawns for the extra kick. The problem is getting repeat customers who will eat them everyday except for some suakus asking where to find good carrot cake.
