How to fry black carrot cake.

1. Cut the cool carrot cake into small pieces.
2. Add some oil in a wok, add some minced garlic and fry for a while. Add in carrot cake and fry until a bit brown. Add in some soaked chai por and fry some more. Beat two eggs in a bowl and add it into the carrot cake and let it set a little before stirring. Add in sweet black sauce and fry. If you like it more salty you can add some fish sauce when frying.
Note: I like the black carrot cake a little wet, so I added some water after adding the sweet black sauce to fry until it has become softer and wetter. Before serving, you can sprinkle some chopped spring onion on top.
