11334 Sizzling Rice Soup Including rice prep, 1 3/4 hours 30-45 minutes 4-5 first course servings or 2-3 ample, meal-size servings Thu Dec 27 22:22:07 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 28 20:48:00 -0800 2007 Chinese User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11334 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 04:48:00 GMT A move from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks meant I could no longer find one of my favorite foods in a local restaurant. I had to learn to make it. Here’s my recipe–I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to add or subtract ingredients as your tastes dictate.

This is a dish of Taiwanese origin, but “Americanized”.

  • Before starting to make the soup: Cook rice first, as directed on package. Then, spread cooked rice in a thin layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake about one hour at 300 degrees, turning the rice layer over after 30 minutes. (Ovens vary; you may need to bake a bit longer to get it crispy, but don’t let it burn.) Break rice apart and set aside. Fry and add to soup as directed.
  • 1. Mix together the chicken, shrimp, cornstarch, sherry and soy sauce; set aside. 2. Into the soup pot put the broth, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots, if you’re using them. Bring to a boil, add salt and pepper. Reduce heat and allow to simmer 3 or 4 minutes. 3. Add mushrooms, green onions and any other fresh vegetables you are using.
  • 4. Beat egg and add it to the chicken, shrimp and sherry mixture. 5. Meanwhile, heat 3 tblsp oil until hot in a frying pan; place rice in oil to brown. 6. Add chicken and shrimp mixture to hot broth; stir and return to a boil. If adding fresh shredded greens, now is the time! 7. Remove rice from oil with slotted spoon, drain very briefly on paper towels. 8. Carefully pour soup in large serving terrine – or just serve from the stock pot.
  • 9. Tableside, add rice to soup. If both are hot enough, your soup should sizzle! Dish into serving bowls immediately and enjoy!
