Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Slice steamed 'Turnip Cake' (made of daikon, rice flour, dried shrimp, pork) into rectangles (or squares).
- Oil a hot griddle at a breakfast shop, pan-fry the turnip cake until both sides have a deep golden-brown crust (surface crispiness is key).
- Beat an egg in a bowl with a little green scallion and salt.
- Vigorously pour the beaten egg over the fried turnip cake. Use a spatula to cook the egg so it completely wraps the cake (an alternative style is making a fried egg and placing the turnip cake on it to fuse).
- Once the egg is cooked, plate and generously pour special sweet/savory 'Jiangyou Gao' and 'Chili Sauce'.
