STIR-FRIED RICE CAKES WITH XO SAUCE



Stir-Fried Rice Cakes with XO Sauce image

Rice cake in Mandarin roughly translates to high year, so there are often sweet or savory dishes involving rice cakes during the Lunar New Year. My family almost always preferred to have them savory. This is an easy at home version that includes pantry ingredients that are luxurious to me and my family.

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups oval rice cakes, separated (about 16 ounces)
2 tablespoons XO sauce of your choice, such as Umamei
2 tablespoons Taiwanese soy paste (oyster sauce is an acceptable substitute)
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon black vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 cups baton-cut garlic chives
3/4 cup blanched bean sprouts
1/2 stick toasted bottarga

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Dip the rice cakes in the water for 30 seconds.
  • Meanwhile, warm a large stainless steel saucepan or nonstick wok with the XO sauce and any of the oil it's packed in over medium heat. Put the warmed rice cakes in the pan with a little of the simmering water. Raise the heat to high and add the soy paste, Shaoxing, black vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Cook, swirling, until the sauce starts to come together and the rice cakes are warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic chives and bean sprouts and swirl to warm through and wilt slightly. Transfer to a serving plate and grate the bottarga on top.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup basmati rice or 1 cup jasmine rice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Wash the rice until the water runs clear and set aside to dry. Boil enough water for two cups. Chop the onions and garlic finely. Place a pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once olive oil is heated add the chopped onions and garlic.
  • Sauté until fragrant; approximately 3 minutes. Add the dry rice to the pan and stir for an additional 3-4 minutes making sure that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Add the two cups of boiling water to the rice and the salt.
  • Place a lid on the pan and cook on medium heat for 8 minutes. Decrease the heat to low and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the water has all evaporated. If the rice is not cooked yet, add a little bit more water!
