How to make Hong Kong style fried carrot cake

Everyone is a foodie. If not, it’s because you haven’t found what you like to eat. If you want to cook the dishes you like, you have to learn. Now, let me introduce to you how to make Hong Kong-style fried radish cake.

1. Pour the oil into the pot, add a little sugar and sweet and spicy sauce, then fry the radish cake over low heat. (The sugar is for caramelization, and the sweet and spicy sauce will be very fragrant after frying)

2.1 Add the shredded pork (the shredded pork should be marinated with soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, rice wine or cooking wine, salad oil or sesame oil for half an hour in advance and placed in the refrigerator during marinating).

3.2 Fry on low heat until both sides are golden brown and then add the chopped leek roots. (The leek roots take longer to cook than the leek leaves, so putting them in first will release their sweetness)

4.1 Add black fungus and stir-fry, then add a little sweet and spicy sauce and stir-fry.

5.2 Spread the shredded meat apart to allow it to be evenly spread out during the heat and blend with the sauce. (The fire should be low, otherwise the meat will become hard quickly)

6.1 Add the chopped fried egg and chive leaves and stir-fry.

7.2 In another pot, pour the stirred egg liquid into the pot and fry it on medium-low heat until it becomes a pancake. It should not be too hard or too cooked. If it is still soft and tender, remove it and cut it into strips or small pieces (salt needs to be added to the egg liquid and beaten evenly. After beating evenly, the MSG-like umami flavor will come out)

8. Add soy sauce, salad oil, sugar, rice wine and a small amount of water and stir-fry until the sauce is thickened.

9. Finally, add the bean sprouts and stir-fry quickly.

10. Turn off the heat and remove from the pan when the sprouts begin to release a little water but still remain crispy.

Maybe you have never eaten Hong Kong-style fried carrot cake before, and you don’t know how to make it. But I believe you have been moved after reading the introduction above. Believe in your own heart and follow your heart to learn how to cook this dish. You should know that the sense of accomplishment and joy you get after making it is really delightful.
