As Chinese New Year is just around the corner (pssst... it's Feb 16 this year. Even though I'm Chinese, I still need to google it every year to find out when it is. So don't feel bad if you don't know.) I thought it's only fitting that I make something Chinese. Turnip cake is a Cantonese dim sum dish that is traditionally very popular to eat around Chinese New Year. Although nowadays, it's available year round at Cantonese dim sum restaurants.
