Ingredients for Farmer’s Crispy Rice Cake
| Rice | 500g |
| Streaky pork | 40g |
| Green pepper | 32g |
| Egg | 50g |
| Edible oil | 32g |
Steps:
1.Prepare a plate of freshly cooked rice and pre-stir-fried filling. The filling is made with diced pork belly, green peppers, and scrambled eggs.
2.Heat a pan and add a spoonful of cooking oil. Pour the rice directly into the pan. Use a spoon to press it down and shape it into a round shape, trying to make it compact so that the rice doesn’t fall apart easily. Shape the edges to make it round. Once the rice cake is formed, cook it over low heat, gently shaking it from time to time to prevent sticking to the bottom. It’s important to use a pan with a pointed bottom for this dish; a flat-bottomed pan won’t create a round shape.
3.Cook the rice cake until the edges slightly curl up and turn golden brown. Then add the pre-stir-fried filling. You can choose any filling you like. Flatten it on top of the rice cake and cook it briefly in the pan.
4.Take a round plate and place it on top of the rice cake in the pan. Flip the pan to invert the rice cake onto the plate.
5.The rice cake, when transferred onto the plate, will look like this.
Tips
1.Mix an egg into the cooked rice and add some flour to form a dough. Roll out the dough thinly with a rolling pin and cut it into evenly sized pieces.
2.Heat oil in a flat-bottomed pan. When the oil reaches medium heat, fry the rice cakes until both sides turn golden brown and become firm. Remove from the pan and drain excess oil. Plate and serve.
