🍳 Recipe Information
Rice Cake Soup With Bok Choy and Edamame
This fresh soup is a riff on something that a Chinese or Korean mom might make, with rice cakes added to bulk it up. You can find the white, oval disks in most Asian supermarkets; they are made with glutinous rice flour and have a chewy texture. They are precooked, but will rehydrate and soak up more liquid in this soup. If you find that they have soaked up too much, simply add a little more broth or water to thin out the soup. Substituting one to two cups of cooked rice to the soup in place of the rice cakes works well if you don't have access to an Asian grocery store.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 medium leeks, trimmed, white and light green parts cut into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 bunch scallions (about 6), whites and greens separated, thinly sliced
- 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 medium heads baby bok choy (about 8 ounces), trimmed, stems and leaves divided, stems cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 cups fresh or frozen rice cakes (about 10 ounces)
- 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
- In a pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add leeks, scallion whites and ginger, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden at the edges and softened, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Add chicken stock and bok choy stems, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce the heat and simmer and cook until the broth is flavorful, about 10 minutes. Add rice cakes and simmer until plump, about 8 minutes.
- Add edamame and bok choy leaves and stir until bright green, about 1 minute. Swirl in the beaten eggs in a slow, steady stream, stirring gently to make sure the eggs form long ribbons. Stir in the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with remaining scallion greens.

There are rice cakes and rice cakes but some aren’t tasty in texture and taste. I recommend “pulmuone”brand from Korea. I rinse my rice cakes under the hot water for a while. Or soak them in a hot tap water before adding them to the soup. They should be nicely soft in texture at the time you put them in the soup.\n\nI love adding little bit of sesame oil with the regular oil at the beginning when sautéing leeks and green onions and ginger (grated!). I usually use Swanson chicken broth but add more water to the soup. \n\nI am uncertain if the vinegar does anything to it for my taste but with eggs, I do use vinegar at the end. If I am not adding eggs, I sometimes leave the vinegar out. \n\nThe broth is not bland. If you would like more flavor, you could get good Korean soup soy sauce to add (a couple tablespoons of it would do).",

They release more starch the longer you cook them which at a delicate balance can create a rich creamy broth without any butter or cream.",

It needed more seasoning than just salt and pepper and a splash of vinegar. I wasn't really sure how to \"fix\" it. I also think it was too low in protein to make it super satiating. I wouldn't make it again, but it introduced me rice cakes and bok choy so that was nice.",

I kept tasting and adding salt, then adding fish sauce, then adding sesame oil, then adding chili sauce, just to get some sort of flavor going. Never really got there in the end.",

I also like to replace a tablespoon of olive oil with toasted sesame oil. The last adjustment I make is adding soy sauce and Huy Fong garlic chili paste for added flavor.",

It is a perfect recipe for using frozen rice cake noodles from our Asian grocery - highly recommend as a comforting dish, great for vegetarians.",

"reviewBody": "The best simple rice cake soup for the midweek dinner on a rainy pnw day. So simple and so delicious! Our kids devour it and ask for more. \n\nRight kind of rice cake is important. There are rice cakes and rice cakes but some aren’t tasty in texture and taste. I recommend “pulmuone”brand from Korea. I rinse my rice cakes under the hot water for a while. Or soak them in a hot tap water before adding them to the soup. They should be nicely soft in texture at the time you put them in the soup.\n\nI love adding little bit of sesame oil with the regular oil at the beginning when sautéing leeks and green onions and ginger (grated!). I usually use Swanson chicken broth but add more water to the soup. \n\nI am uncertain if the vinegar does anything to it for my taste but with eggs, I do use vinegar at the end. If I am not adding eggs, I sometimes leave the vinegar out. \n\nThe broth is not bland. If you would like more flavor, you could get good Korean soup soy sauce to add (a couple tablespoons of it would do).",

"reviewBody": "Super delicious! My one gripe is that there isn’t nearly enough broth—I had to nearly double it for everything to properly fit and still be soup-like. The second time I made this, I threw in some enoki mushrooms and sesame oil, just to shake things up, and it was very tasty as well. Later, I even did a little experiment with chili oil! This soup is lovely after a cold day, and it’s been in my permanent dinner rotation since the first time I made it.",

"description": "This fresh soup is a riff on something that a Chinese or Korean mom might make, with rice cakes added to bulk it up. You can find the white, oval disks in most Asian supermarkets; they are made with glutinous rice flour and have a chewy texture. They are precooked, but will rehydrate and soak up more liquid in this soup. If you find that they have soaked up too much, simply add a little more broth or water to thin out the soup. Substituting one to two cups of cooked rice to the soup in place of the rice cakes works well if you don't have access to an Asian grocery store.",
