Rice cakes are a versatile culinary delight. In Sichuan and Chongqing, they're used in hot pot and can be added to rice wine-fried eggs for a unique flavor. Compared to Korean rice cakes, this Chinese version is my favorite; it's more to my taste. If Sichuan and Chongqing bacon aren't available, don't worry! Substituting fried eggs and ham (which works perfectly) creates a unique and delicious experience. The golden fried eggs, with their charred aroma and the salty, chewy ham, stir-fried with rice cakes and vegetables, create a rich and harmonious flavor. The fried rice cakes are imbued with the aroma of the ingredients. A bite of them is soft, chewy, and the salty, fragrant flavor spreads across your tongue. It may seem ordinary, but it's incredibly satisfying. I'll instantly fall in love with this simple yet delicious Chinese rice cake.
This Korean-style chicken features chicken pieces that are deep-fried until golden brown, then coated in a signature Korean sauce—a combination of soy sauce, mirin, garlic, sesame oil, corn syrup, sugar, and dried chili flakes—that imparts a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor. The texture is tantalizing: the chicken is crispy on the outside, but the sauce layer remains slippery and rich. The aromas of garlic and sesame oil blend together beautifully, while a sprinkling of fresh scallions adds freshness and a pop of color. This dish is the perfect blend of bold Korean flavors and the familiarity of fried chicken—perfect as a special snack or a fun main course.
Enjoy the pleasures and benefits of eating Korean kimchi, especially homemade kimchi. With no unnecessary additives, the naturally fermented probiotics protect gut health, while lactic acid bacteria regulate the gut and dietary fiber aids digestion. It boasts a rich and layered flavor: a harmonious blend of sour, spicy, and savory. The lactic acid produced during fermentation brings a refreshing tang, while the spiciness of the chili is not overpowering. Paired with garlic, ginger, apple, and pear, it's crisp, tender, and juicy. It can be served as a side dish to cut through richness or to add a touch of soul to rice, noodles, and other staple foods. Every bite is appetizing and satisfying. When chewing, you can feel the collision of the natural sweetness of the ingredients with the fermented flavor. It tastes even more refreshing when chilled, making it a delightful and comforting addition to everyday meals. It's versatile: it can be eaten raw as a side dish, stir-fried with pork belly, used in army stew, or added to kimchi soup. Heating it softens the sourness and enhances the aroma, making it a delightful addition to both casual meals and lavish banquets.
The pan-fried rice cake is topped with shredded cheese, which is slightly crispy on the outside and chewy and flaky on the inside.
