NIAN GAO (BAKED STICKY RICE CAKE WITH RED BEAN PASTE)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk together flour, sugars, and salt: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. If the brown sugar is clumpy, use your fingers to break it up.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or 8-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil until fully combined. I tend to use a large liquid measuring cup since I need to measure out the milk and oil and it allows me to pour it out into the batter easily.
- Cool cake on wire rack: Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely in the pan. Let it rest for at least 4 hours. It's very sticky and gooey if you cut it while it's still hot. The longer it rests, the easier it is to handle.

SHEET PAN FRIED RICE
Baking the rice on a sheet pan guarantees more of the crispy, crunchy bits that make fried rice the perfect food. For this recipe, the older and drier the rice the better. If you must start with freshly cooked grains, spread them out on a sheet pan to dry out in the refrigerator first.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
- Toss together the rice, white and light green parts of the sliced scallions, carrots, peas, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil in a large bowl until the rice is completely coated. Spread on a sheet pan and bake until the rice begins to toast on the outer edges, about 15 minutes. Toss the rice on the sheet pan using a metal spatula, scraping up any stuck-on pieces. Drizzle the eggs over the rice and nestle in the shrimp. Continue baking until the shrimp and eggs are cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved dark green scallions and divide among 4 plates. Serve with sriracha on the side.
RICE CAKES
Crispy rice has a revered place in many cultures. These rice cakes, which work well as a side dish to a piece of grilled meat or fish, offer the delicious crunch of Korean nurunji or Middle eastern hkaka, with some of the herbed cheesy goodness of Italian arancini. The basic recipe can be used to accommodate vegetables other than zucchini and herbs other than mint, or can be made without either for a more simple backdrop for a fried egg or a simple snack for a child.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, gently mix everything except the butter. Over medium-high heat, heat the butter in a large frying pan until it is foaming. (A nonstick pan is good for this purpose but cast iron can work well, too.)
- Working in batches if necessary, and adding more butter as needed, use a large spoon or measuring cup to place a scoop of the rice mixture in the pan. Press down with the back of a spatula to form a patty. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the bottom. Gently flip patty and cook another 3 minutes or until golden. Keep warm on a paper-towel-covered plate or pan in a warm oven.

SPICY KOREAN RICE CAKES (TTEOKBOKKI)
This popular street-food dish, called tteokbokki, is a garlicky, richly spiced dish of rice cakes bathed in red chile paste. Tteokbokki (pronounced duck-bo-key) got its own festival, spinning off from the larger annual Seoul festival of rice cakes, or tteok.

Steps:
- Soak tteok in cold water to cover while preparing the other ingredients, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Combine beef with soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and garlic.
- Heat a wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add beef mixture and stir-fry just until lightly browned, 1 minute. Add onion, scallions, and cabbage, if using, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add gochujang and mix. Add about 1/3 cup water, remaining teaspoon sesame oil, sugar and tteok. Mix and let simmer until sauce is thick and tteok is soft, adding water a little at a time as needed. Adjust seasonings with sugar and gochujang.
- Mix in scallions and serve hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
RICE CAKES WITH PEANUT SAUCE AND HOISIN
This vegan dish is reminiscent of the classic Cantonese dim sum of fried cheung fun, or steamed rice noodle rolls, which is served with two contrasting sauces: a caramelly hoisin sauce and a nutty sesame sauce. In this recipe, tenaciously chewy rice cakes are stir-fried until crispy, then smothered in a sweet and earthy peanut sauce and finished with syrupy hoisin. Rice cakes deserve to be a pantry staple for many reasons: They can be used as a filling substitute for short pasta, added to stews or quickly pan-fried with your favorite sauce. Sold in Chinese or Korean markets, they come in tubes (like those used in tteokbokki) or sliced disks, and are packaged in vacuum-sealed packs or frozen, so they keep for ages. If you're looking for a suitable substitute, you could use fresh rice noodle rolls, or even gnocchi.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the rice cakes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Drain and refresh under cold water.
- Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, place the peanut butter, hot water, sugar, garlic and soy sauce, and whisk together until combined. Set aside.
- Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet or wok on medium high. (Check the drained rice cakes. If they are sticking together, rinse them with cold water and gently toss to separate before adding them to the pan.) When the pan is hot, add the neutral oil and rice cakes, and toss to combine. Add soy sauce and stir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes, until the rice cakes begin to caramelize. (If more than a few clump together, add a tablespoon of water at a time and break them up with your spatula.) Add the yu choy and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the greens are wilted. Turn off heat, add the peanut sauce and toss to coat.
- To serve, drizzle with the diluted hoisin sauce, scatter with scallions and finish with sesame seeds.
BAKED "FRIED" RICE
If you don't have cold leftover rice around, this easy oven method will produce something very similar to the classic fried rice, with the perfect texture every time. Just like rice pilaf, the grains of rice get coated in fat before absorbing the cooking liquid, ensuring plump, tender, separate grains with no sticky clumps. Just adjust cooking time if using a different kind of rice or pan size. Garnish with green onions and serve with a runny poached egg on top if desired.

10-MINUTE RICE CAKES
Growing up, I remember my dad making these for me every time we had leftover rice in the fridge. I generally make these for breakfast but occasionally enjoy them for dinner when my husband is out of town and I want to make something quick and easy. This recipe is a great base. Have fun changing it up and making it your own! Great topped with salsa!

Tips:
- Day-Old Rice: Use day-old rice, as it has less moisture and holds its shape better during frying.
- Cook the Rice Properly: Ensure the rice is cooked to perfection, not mushy or undercooked. Fluff it up with a fork before assembling the cakes.
- Binding Agent: Use eggs as the binding agent to hold the rice cakes together, providing a golden crust when fried.
- Seasoning: Don't shy away from adding your favorite seasonings to the rice, such as soy sauce, pepper, garlic, or chili flakes, for a flavorful base.
- Shaping the Cakes: Form the rice cakes firmly yet gently to prevent them from breaking apart during cooking. Keep your hands slightly moist to avoid sticking.
- Pan-Frying Temperature: Heat the oil to the right temperature before adding the rice cakes. Medium-high heat is ideal to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Non-Stick Pan: Use a non-stick pan to prevent the rice cakes from sticking. A well-seasoned wok is another great option.
- Frying Time: Fry the rice cakes for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Resting Time: Allow the rice cakes to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps them set and retain their shape.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the rice cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce. Accompaniments like stir-fried vegetables and a protein of choice make a complete meal.
