This soup makes a showy presentation. At the table
you slide fried rice cakes into the soup to create a
crackling, sizzling sound. Actually, you can add the
rice cakes to almost any soup and give the soup a
sizzling name. The trick is to be sure that both rice
cakes and soup are piping hot.
In a bowl, blend soy, sherry and cornstarch. Add
prok and mix until well coated. Let stand for ten
minutes. In a 2-quart pan, heat chicken broth to
boiling. Add pork, stir several times, then reduce
heat and simmer for five minutes. Add mushrooms,
water chestnuts, and peas. Simmer, uncovered, for 2
minutes. Add green onion, salt to taste and sesame
oil.
Keep soup hot while you fry sizzling rice cakes per
recipe. Pour hot soup into a warm tureen and carry to
the table. Bring hot fried rice cakes to the table in
a bowl and immediately slide into the soup.
