Chinese Rice Recipes - Soupy Rice with Beef Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons pudding (round) rice

• 1 piece tangerine peel (1 inch in diameter)

• 1 slice fresh ginger

• 1/2 teaspoon ginger sherry

• 1 oz. rice noodles

---

Method:

1. Well wash the rice. Turn it into a 3-pint saucepan. (If you have a non-stick pan, use it).

2. Add the tangerine peel, ginger, 2 teaspoons peanut oil and 2 pints (U.S. 5 cups) water. Cover and very slowly cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally to bring the rice up to the surface.

3. While the rice is cooking, finely chop the steak. Add the corn-flour, blended with 1 dessertspoon water, the seasonings and sherry. Stir together and have ready.

4. In hot peanut oil deep-fat fry the rice noodles for 1 minute, keeping them submerged in the oil with a flattish perforated ladle. Lift out, drain and mix with the raw meat.

5. At the last minute, remove the peel and ginger from the rice. Stir the meat-noodle mixture into the 'soupy' rice and cook for 1 minute only.

Note: This dish is excellent for people with weak digestions or those who need easily digested nourishing food. If liked, 1 tablespoon brandy can be stirred in at the last minute.
