FRESH RICE SHEETS AND NOODLES
This is a handy recipe for making rice sheets and noodles, especially the ones that are not readily available, such as the wide rice noodles. The recipe is easy, but I suggest that first you watch a video such as, www.ifoodtv/video/making rice noodles. One video is worth a thousand words. This recipe comes from one of my most treasured books: "Asian Pasta" by Linda Burum, 1985. Linda claims that she can make a batch of rice noodles in much less time than it takes to go to the store, and that the homemade noodles are far superior.

Steps:
- Combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, wheat starch, salt and water; stir until smooth; then strain the batter through a fine strainer and stir in the oil; let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
- Have ready an oiled baking sheet; then oil two 8-inch square pans or two 9-inch square pans; then place an 8-inch round cake rack in a wok and add water to just below the rack; boil the water and have a kettle of hot water available to replenish the water in the wok.
- Stir the batter very well and add 5 to 6 tablespoons to one pan, allowing the batter to cover the bottom of the pan; set the pan on the cake rack, cover the wok, and steam over high heat for 5 minutes; then remove the wok top without allowing condensed water to drip on the rice sheets; remove the baking pan and cool in a sink filled with 1/2 -inch cold water; meanwhile, fill and steam the other pan; loosen the cooled rice sheet and roll it out onto the oiled baking sheet; turn the rice sheet so both sides are lightly oiled, then transfer to a platter; repeat the cooking, cooling, and oiling with the remaining batter.
- Cover the rice sheets with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours before cutting the sheets into one-inch wide strips, or other shapes called for in the recipe.
- Makes about 3 pounds of noodles.;.
SHEET-PAN KIMCHI FRIED RICE
Kimchi fried rice doesn't need a weeknight makeover - it's already so easy. But this oven method maximizes the surface area of the dish by using a sheet pan, increasing the potential for that coveted nurungji, or scorched rice. By baking this dish, you can start with fresh rice (no need for day-old), as the dry oven heat draws out the moisture from the moist grains and turns them crispy-chewy, plus the only active cooking required here is stirring together the ingredients. The oven handles the rest, which means no actual stir-frying. Eggs cracked on top, gently baked to silky perfection, are a necessary finish, as the runny yolks sauce the gochugaru-stained rice.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a sieve and rinse it under cold running water, shaking constantly, just a few seconds. Add the rinsed rice and 2 cups cold water to a rice cooker or medium pot and soak for 10 minutes. If using a rice cooker, turn it on and cook rice until soft and fluffy. If using a pot, bring the water to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to very low, cover and continue simmering, without peeking, for 20 minutes; remove the pot from the heat and let the rice finish steaming, still covered, until the grains are soft, distended and a little shiny, about 10 minutes. Uncover your cooked rice, fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, gochujang, kimchi juice, soy sauce and sugar. Season generously with salt, then stir in the chopped kimchi and onion. Add the cooked rice, butter and seaweed and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt.
- Transfer the rice mixture to a large rimmed sheet pan and spread out loosely. Bake until the top of the rice is crispy and chewy but not burned, 25 to 30 minutes, opening the oven door halfway through (to check on it, but also to let excess moisture out during the cooking).
- Remove the pan from the oven. Using a spoon, create 6 shallow depressions in the rice. Crack the eggs into the depressions and place the pan back in the oven until the egg whites have just set, 3 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately, while the eggs are still runny.
RICE PAPER ROLLS
I like to have a package of rice papers and noodles on hand for quick and easy appetizer ideas. I've used thin or thick rice noodles for these rolls with equal success. -Lori Stefanishion, Drumheller, Alberta
