I had an ex-colleague who married to USA. One day, she told her hubby that she missed the carrot cake. The next day, her hubby brought home some carrot cake but that was not what she missed. The carrot cake she was referring to is fried carrot cake or chai tow kway" (菜頭粿;) which is a common dish here which Singaporeans eat throughout the day.
Ready made carrot cake for stir fry can be purchased and this carrot cake that I used is produced by Hiap Chen Food Proudcts Pte Ltd. Egg is omitted for this vegan version.
