Lyon Savory Cake Introduction
The savory cake from Lyon breaks with tradition by using baking instead of steaming, allowing it to be refrigerated and resulting in a more moist and dense texture. The cake is topped with scallions and fried shallots, providing a rich aroma. The filling, made from Old Lu sauce, lean meat, and scallions, enhances the savory flavor, while the addition of mayonnaise keeps the internal filling fresh and not overly rich. The baked scallion savory cake is a creative dish by Chef Lyon, inspired by the snacks made by his grandmother during his childhood, blending the love of a grandmother with the chef's dedication, utilizing Western baking techniques to create this delicious local traditional delicacy.
