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.

- 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.
- 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. :)

Guys, thank you a bunch!
@Nat:It's more or less like daikon.
@Mari at Once Upon a Plate: yes,the preserved turnip can be used instead.
Thank you for your super-fast reply Angie! And thank you for stopping by my blog, too.
I hope to try this very soon... but it's difficult to decide because ALL of your recipes look soo good!
