Chewy,versatile Rice Cakes

Having dinner alone can be a lonely and boring affair,and it is so much easier to simply choose to tabao food rather than going through the trouble of cooking ,washing and cleaning up.However,being big and heavy ,I hardly venture out of the house and left with no choice,I simply rummaged through my food cupboard and found a packet of dried rice cakes.They resemble sliced fish cake without the skin.Being bland and chewy,they are great either stir-fried or boiled in soup.The rice cakes will absorb in all the flavours like a sponge and one can simply add in watever ingredients one fancy.The only downside is that the rice cakes have to be soaked for a couple of hours before they can be cooked,else it will remain hard and stick to the wok.In this dish,I simply added in watever I have available making it a healthy and economical meal.Do try the rice cakes,can be easily found in dried goods section in NTUC.A nice change from the normal rice....
