Pan-fried Beaten Eggs with Preserved Radish / 菜脯煎蛋




This dish (Cai Pu Jian Dan/菜脯煎蛋 in Chinese)is prepared with beaten eggs, perserved radish and spring onions, very much like "Egg Fu Yung",which is a Chinese American dish based on a Shanghai classic dish called fu yung egg slices. However, the "Cai Pu Jian Dan" does not include a gravy or sauce, as "Egg Fu Yung" always does.

  • 3 Eggs, big
  • 100 g Preserved radish
  • 1 tbsp Chopped scallion
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil
  • 1/5 tsp Chicken bouillon
  1. Rinse and finely chop pickles. Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until well-combined. Blend in chopped preserved radish and scallion. Season it with chicken bouillon.
  2. Heat up a skillet with oil. Slowly pour in the mixture and give it 20 seconds to turn a nice golden brown over medium-low heat. Turn over and cook until it turns golden as well. Serve immediately.

Angie,

This dish looks delicious. I would love to make it but I am not familiar with preserved radishes. I'm going to look for them when I go to a well stocked Asian market here. I do have preserved turnips... I'm wondering if I could substitute?

This is my first visit to your blog ~ it is lovely!! I'll be back, for sure. :)

@Mari at Once Upon a Plate: yes,the preserved turnip can be used instead.
