• Cover and cook slowly until the water is absorbed, 7-10 minutes.
• Add the milk, stir, cover, and cook 10-12 minutes more, or until the rice is tender.
• Stir in 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of the butter.
• Spread the mixture on a shallow plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
• Beat the remaining egg in a shallow dish and put the crumbs on a piece of wax paper.
• Shape the well-chilled rice mixture into 6 conical or patty shapes, pressing firmly together.
• Carefully dip each cake into the egg and then cover with crumbs.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet with the oil.
• When hot, fry the cakes until golden brown; don't cook them too quickly or the insides will remain cold.

TTEOKBOKKI - SPICY STIR-FRIED RICE CAKES

Steps:

• Soak the rice cakes for about 20 minutes (can be longer for refrigerated rice cakes).
• Cut the fish cake, cabbage, and scallions into about 2-inch long pieces.
• To a large pan, add the dried anchovies, dried kelp, and onion along with 5 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat, and continue to boil for 10 minutes. Reduce it close to medium if your heat is very high. Remove the anchovies, dasima and onion from the broth.
• Add the sauce ingredients to the pan, stirring to dissolve the red chili pepper paste (gochujang).
• Add the rice cakes. Boil until the rice cakes become very soft and the sauce is thickened, about 8 - 10 minutes. This can take longer, depending on your rice cakes. Stir frequently so the rice cakes don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Drop the vegetables, garlic, and fish cakes in. Continue to boil, stirring occasionally, for an additional 4 - 6 minutes. Depending on rice cakes, you may need more time to reach a desired level of softness. Add more broth or water as necessary. Drop in the scallions and boiled eggs with 2 to 3 minutes remaining. Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot.

CHINESE RICE CAKE-BAI TANG GAO

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix 150ml to 160ml water with rice flour. Combine well.
• In a small pot, melt sugar with the left water (350ml). Bring to boil over medium fire.
• Pour the hot sugar liquid directly to the rice mixture. Combine well and set aside to cool down until less than 40 degree C or room temperature.
• Mix yeast with 20ml and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Combine yeast water and rice mixture well, cover with plastic wrapper for proofing.
• Drop several drops of oil in the batter and combine well. Continue proofing until there is a thick layer of small bubbles on the surface.
• Prepare a plate (steel plate is highly recommended as they are usually quite thin) and brush some oil on surface (this can help the de-molding process).
• Bring the water to boil firstly and then pour the rice batter to hot steel plate around 80% full.
• Cover with lid and steam for 15 minutes over high fire. Wait for around 10 minutes after turning off the fire. Transfer the cake out, wait for minutes and move it from the plate. Set aside to cool down completely. Either cut into large wedges or small cubes. Serve cold with tea or as breakfast.

RICE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cook the rice until the 'al dente' stage as it will finish cooking in the oven. Allow to cool. Heat up 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan. Add the pancetta, salami, and onions. Cook until golden and crispy.
• Cook the peas in a pot of salted water for approximately 2 minutes, or until soft. Add to the pan mixture and toss the ingredients together. Transfer the rice to a large bowl. Add an egg, Pecorino cheese, grated Parmigiano, diced Parmigiano, scamorza, salt, pepper, and the pancetta mixture with all its juices to the rice and thoroughly mix.
• Grease a baking dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle half the bread crumbs to the base of the pan. Spread the mixture onto the baking pan, packing the mixture so it serves as a solid bed. Sprinkle the remaining bread crumbs on top. Bake for 20 minutes or until the rice cake is golden.
