Loofah Stir-fried Rice Cake
1.
Prepare rice cakes and loofah, a green onion, and two garlics. This nian gao is left over from the hot pot that I bought before, the kind of flaky nian gao can be used, water mill nian gao is the best. The weight of this pack of rice cakes is 400 grams, which is enough for two people.
2.
First separate the nian gao into sections. I broke it directly with my hands, and used a knife to separate the ones that were not easy to break.
3.
Wash the loofah, remove the head and tail, and shave off the surface crust. Today’s loofah has been bought for a few days and the skin is not fresh enough, so the skin is shaved off. If the loofah is fresh, it is okay to not peel it. Cut the peeled loofah into strips, cut the shallots into sections, mince the garlic and set aside.
4.
Boil the soup pot with water, add the rice cake strips and cook for about 3 minutes. Chop it with chopsticks and let it soften completely. After the cooked rice cake is taken out in cold water, it will be more refreshing when it is fried. I was a little busy today and never had cold water, it was not refreshing enough.
5.
Put the peanut oil in the wok, heat up, add all the chopped green onions and a part of the chopped garlic, and fry the aroma.
6.
Then add the loofah and stir fry. The loofah is easy to ripen and becomes soft in less than half a minute.
7.
At this time, add the rice cake that has just been boiled and stir fry.
8.
Add cumin meat sauce and stir-fry evenly to coat the rice cake with the sauce.
9.
After stirring evenly, turn off the heat. After turning off the heat, add the minced garlic and stir well. This level of minced garlic tastes the best, without the spicy, it won't overcook.
Tips:
1. The rice cakes are actually cooked, just boil them softly. The soft-boiled rice cakes will be more refreshed after being fried with water to drain the starch on the surface.
2. The minced garlic is added at the end, it is very delicious.
3. If you don't have this cumin meat sauce, just use cumin powder, oyster sauce and salt to taste it.
