hi Dawn
thank you very much for yr reply & highly appreciated yr guidance. actually is for my kids, like u said rice can get boring for kids….
hope i can find the rice cake in the Fairprice near me…
once again thank you so much!!
Hi Wendy
I got the frozen korean rice cake packet from Shine Korean supermarket, (they also sell it in Fairprice as well :)).
First you boil it in hot boiling water (about 2 mins), once it is al dente, which is slight tender in the inside, sieve it out and let it run under tap water to wash out the starch residue.
Then fry in a pan with very little oil (or no oil but immediately add in the sauce), you can add ketchup (which is kids favourite), or use tin can tomato paste or pasta sauce, I also like to put in a little brown sugar to bring the taste out if I use pasta sauce too.
My son loves it a lot because to him, it is slightly chewy and full of tomato flavour. For me, i think it is a good alternative, as rice can get boring for kids, these rice cakes are just as good and very affordable too. 🙂
You can store it in the fridge and take out as and when you need some, or you can also cook up some for the family, recipe is here. 🙂
p.s. if you serve to kids, remember to cut into small bite size and always supervise too, I am quite cautious as I do afraid kids might choke on it if it is too chunky. 🙂
Happy Cooking!
Cheers,
Dawn
