Catfish Rice Cake

Catfish Rice Cake

　　Catfish Rice Cake, also known as "Rolled Rice Cake," is made by soaking rice, grinding it into a batter, and ladling the batter into a round bamboo tray about thirty centimeters in diameter. The tray is gently shaken to spread the batter evenly before steaming it over high heat. After about five minutes, the thin steamed layer of rice cake is lifted off, and fillings such as stir-fried shredded pork, chives, bean sprouts, fresh bamboo shoots, dried shrimp, and mushrooms are added before it is rolled into a tube shape. Catfish Rice Cake is tender and delicious, and can be eaten in large quantities without becoming greasy.
