Turnip Cake
By Maomaomom
If you go to a Chinese restaurant for dim sum, you will love this mouth watering dish made with shredded Chinese turnip (daikon), sausage and dry shrimps. Traditionally, this dish usually takes hours to prepare at home because of the long steaming that is required. Now with the electric pressure cooker, this dish can be made in 45 minutes.

4: When it is done, wait for another 10 minutes. Slowly release the pressure then open the lid. Take out the steamed turnips cake. Set aside to cool, then cover and chill for a few hours.
5: Use a knife to loosen the turnip cake along the edges of the Glasslock. Flip the container and pry out the turnip cake. Slice 1/3 of the cake and pan fry with oil until both sides turn light brown.

Thanks , I’ve just been looking for info about this topic for a long time and yours is the greatest I have came upon till now. However, what about the bottom line? Are you certain in regards to the source?
Throughout the great scheme of things you actually receive an A for effort and hard work. Where you actually lost me personally was in the specifics. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more accurate at this point. Having said that, permit me reveal to you just what did deliver the results. Your text is certainly very engaging and this is possibly why I am making the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, whilst I can see a jumps in logic you come up with, I am not necessarily convinced of how you appear to unite your details which in turn help to make the final result. For right now I shall yield to your point but wish in the future you actually link the dots better.
