Turnip cake with Chef Frank, Frankie & Scott for Lunar New Year

Last week was the lunar new year and we celebrated it by making turnip cake. I welcome Frankie & Scott into my kitchen to help. These cakes are actually made with daikon not turnips but are a delicious appetizer & although it may be a little time consuming to make they are worth the effort.

Special thanks to Frankie & Scott

"Mom is going to be proud" is high praise, especially for a dish that is literally (and traditionally) a labor of love. Looks amazing.

Hello, Francesca and Scott! Thank you for sharing!

[davidhalldurham]

I LOVE teaching people how to cut parchment paper to fit in round pans. Their eyes always get big, and they think it's just miraculous. Wonderful video, Chef Frank. Your videos are always so much fun.

[jesswinter]

Gosh I wish you had a show on food network. You remind me of the golden years of cooking shows. Now it’s all competition shows all the time. Your videos and recipes are the best!!

Great video, Frank! You can tell how much they appreciated being there with you.

[civilizeddiva]

Chef Frank, you are worth your weight in platinum (as my cousin always says)😊. Thank you for bringing Francesca and Scott on your channel to celebrate Lunar New Year. I appreciate the diverse perspectives you share in your vlogs.

These look amazing! Really neat to see a recipe with so much tradition behind it like this on this channel, and shout out to Scott and Frankie for bringing so much knowledge and lending a hand 😁

[haroldhenderson]

Although rice is delicious, when ground it is bland! Great to see the use of very few ingredients, and of course, browning, to add texture and flavor to the rice.

Love turnip cakes! And now I'll know how to make them! ❤

[VerhoevenSimon]

Those look amazing, and I love the little tips you added.

[EternaltheGrey]

Heeeey, nice! Lo Bak Go is always fun. Admittedly I like the taro version better, but they're both fantastic any time.

[floopyboo]

Scott was being so polite lol. More time in the steamer for Scott I think!

Hey Frank! Just saw your mashed potato video. My dad always added an egg with butter and cream, and mashed it like that over fire. I always thought it was made like that until I discovered no one else does it, I did find some online recipes but its rare. I gotta say I prefer them with an egg 😀

[morriganwitch]

Thank you for bringing heart to these videos xxx

[shuujiaqi]

thanks for sharing this frank! in cantonese it's called lo bak go, in mandarin it's luo bo gao for anyone that was curious. not gonna lie the english translation being turnip cake makes me confuse all the names lol (turnip, daikon, radish, etc.) i also love the cured sausage as well, it adds so much flavor to any dish

[mousiebrown]

Looks tasty & altho it has a lot of steps, it does not look difficult.

[Ragnarok]

you can also use the same recipe and just swap out the daikon with taro to get taro cake, also important to use regular rice flour(red packaging) and not glutinous rice flour(green packaging)

Great video Mr Proto (doing this for referencing)

Turnip cakes are delicious but... take time to make. It's nice we see new faces. It's also pretty clear people not used to speaking in front of camera look less at ease 😂
