Fried Carrot Cake (Veganised) at Golden Shoe Hokkien Mee — Low Lai Chow's Review (Jan 1, 2025)

This dish was so WINNING. Also known as chai tow kway, fried carrot cake is traditionally made with steamed radish/ carrot rice cake cut into cubes and stir-fried into a savoury omelette-like dish with eggs, cai po (preserved radish) and garlic, then topped with spring onions. The 'white' version is stir-fried with light soy sauce (that's the one we ordered) while the 'black' version is stir-fried with dark soy sauce. Initially this Lau Pa Sat stall did not want to make this without the default egg - the hawkers said it would compromise the dish. But after a fair bit of persuasion they said okay and even added chives and beansprouts. The wok hei (aroma from wok-frying on high heat) was strong with this one. #singaporefood #sgvegan
