Report
This Thai-Chinese street food is an absolute hidden gem. Immensely satisfying, loaded with umami. You'll need to make the turnip cake (lo bak go) first, but once you have it, this recipe comes together super fast. The perfect way to use up any leftover turnip cake you might have from Lunar New Year or dim sum!

Ingredients
- 12.5 oz turnip cake lo bak go
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 2.5 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sweet soy sauce (see note 1)
- 2 egg large
- 2 cups bean sprout
- 6 tems garlic chives cut in 2-inch pieces
- sriracha hot sauce for serving (optional)
- lime for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Slice the turnip cake into ¾-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into ¾-inch thick pieces.
- Combine the soy sauce and the sweet soy sauce together in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Heat a well-seasoned carbon steel wok or a nonstick pan over medium high heat, then add the oil. Once the oil is hot, place the turnip cakes cube on the pan in one layer and allow to sear without stirring until the underside is well browned, 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the turnip cake pieces and brown the other side, another 2-3 minutes.
- Once browned on both sides, crack the eggs into the pan (it can go right in between the turnip cake pieces) then break the yolks with your spatula. Use tongs or chopsticks and pickup the turnip cake pieces around the edges and put them on top of the eggs - we're trying to get some of the eggs to stick to the turnip cakes. (See video if you're confused by this) Turn the heat up to high and allow the eggs to cook without stirring until they are about halfway cooked.
- Using two spatulas, toss the eggs and the turnip cakes together until the eggs are fully cooked. Then add the beansprouts, garlic chives, then drizzle the sauce mixture over the veggies and give everything a toss for 30 seconds just until the bean sprouts are wilted, then off the heat.
- Plate, and if you want, drizzle some sriracha hot sauce over the turnip cakes or serve the hot sauce on the side. Squeeze some fresh lime juice over and enjoy!
