Sweet Radish Bits 菜莆碎 (甜)

Sweet Preserved Radish,  菜脯碎 (甜) or Chai Poh Sui, is prized for its intense salty-sweet flavour and textural crunch, making it an essential topping for classics like Chwee Kueh and a key ingredient in Fried Radish Cake. It is commonly stir-fried with eggs to prepare the delicious Chai Poh Omelette (菜脯蛋), or used as a flavour enhancer and textural element when served with congee or incorporated into vegetable stir-fries. This preserved ingredient instantly elevates simple dishes by adding a deep layer of umami and characteristic sweetness that is fundamental to local cuisine.
