Hot Pot Rice Cake (or Toppoki), 450g
Use sliced rice cake for hot pot for a traditional addition to Chinese hot pots and soups. Or to make Korean toppoki. The rice cake has an outstanding chewy, and rich mouthfeel – and the slices only need boiling for 2-3 minutes before they’re ready to eat.
Rice cakes do not have much flavour on their own. That brings soothing contrast in a fiery hotpot, but you can also simmer directly in stocks, broth or soup to absorb other flavours.
The cooked rice cake slices also make a great light lunch. Instead of serving in a hot pot, serve plain with a flavourful dipping sauce of sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red chilli, garlic and spring onion.
Ingredients: Rice 70%, water, salt.
