Chinese Carrot Cake - Lo Bo Gao

Chinese carrot cake is again totally different from the western carrot cake. It is not baked but requires some frying and steaming to be done from the pan and are made from rice flour with milk. The basic ingredients are shreds and cuts of onions, garlic, radish or yam, shrimp and sausages to taste together to be mixed with a ratio of 2 water/milk: 1 rice flour. The trick is to fry the onions and garlics first in order to create the base crunch. Followed by the sausages and the shrimps for their known perfect blend to taste. After you got these, time to mix them with the flour and water or milk ready to be steamed or microwaved until they solidify.
