Learn how to make a classic, savory Singaporean White Carrot Cake with Chef Annil. In this step-by-step recipe, Chef Annil shows you how to prep chives and spring onions, cut the radish cake into cubes, and coat them in cornstarch for a crispier texture before deep-frying. The fried cubes are then tossed into a sizzling wok with garlic, pickled radish (chai poh), eggs, chives, and fish sauce. Garnish with spring onions and serve with spicy sambal on the side.
