RICE CAKE WITH MIXED VEGETABLES

Rice Cake With Mixed Vegetables image

Rice cakes are available sliced, marble-shaped, and in batons. Look for them in the refrigerated aisle of Asian grocery stores. There are dried versions, but the refrigerated version is widely available and easier to work with. I like the slices because there's more surface area for the sauce. You can use any combination of vegetables and seasonings, so feel free to experiment with flavors. Rice cake is also served at Lunar New Year because the Mandarin name nian gao ("sticky cake") is a homophone for the nian, which means "year," and gao, which means "tall" or "high." When you stick those years together, you're wishing others longevity.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups sliced rice cake
3 cups hot tap water or water that's been microwaved for 30 seconds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups leafy greens, such as baby bok choy, yu choy (cut into ½-inch pieces), or baby spinach leaves
4 medium dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes to reconstitute and cut into (¼-inch-thick) pieces
½ cup sliced carrots (⅛ inch thick)
½ cup bean sprouts
1½ tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon black bean garlic sauce
¼ teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

In a medium bowl, soak the rice cake in the hot water for 2 to 3 minutes, then drain all but about ½ cup water. Set aside.
Preheat a wok over high heat until wisps of smoke rise from the surface. Swirl in the vegetable oil and let heat for a few seconds until it starts to shimmer. Add the greens and stir-fry for about 15 seconds. Add the mushrooms, carrots, and bean sprouts. Stir to combine. Add the rice cake and the reserved water, soy sauce, and black bean garlic sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until well combined and the rice cake slices have softened. Finish with the sesame oil. Serve while hot.

RICE VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Rice Vegetable Medley image

This recipe combines rice with frozen vegetables. The veggies are small enough for my daughter, Sara, to handle easily. The same's true of the rice, which she can pick up with her fingers.-Coleen Martin, Brookfield, Wisconsin
