Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups dry jasmine rice
2 ½ cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 sweet potato
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
½ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
salt and pepper to taste
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
½ red bell pepper, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil with the garlic over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the jasmine rice and stir constantly for 1 minute more. Add the 2-1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook the rice for 15 minutes. Transfer the rice to a large bowl, and let it cool for 15 minutes
  • While the rice cooks, cut the sweet potato into thirds. Place the pieces in a pot, and cover them with cold water. Bring the potatoes to a boil, and cook them until they are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
  • In a saucepan bring the coconut milk, the water or orange juice, and the minced ginger almost to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Peel the skin off the cooled sweet potato. Puree the sweet potato flesh with the coconut-ginger liquid in a blender or food processor. Pour the sweet-potato puree back into the saucepan and add salt and pepper.
  • Mince the carrot, the red pepper, and the coarsely chopped scallions in a food processor. Add 1/2 of the jasmine rice and the 2 beaten eggs; run the machine in spurts until the mixture has a mealy consistency. Put this mixture back into the bowl with the rest of the jasmine rice and mix well. Put half of this mixture into a clean bowl.
  • Heat two skillets or a large griddle over medium-high heat. Divide the remaining canola oil between the skillets or spread it on the griddle. Divide the rice mixture in each bowl into thirds. Form each of the six parts into a ball then place each ball in a skillet or on the griddle. Pat the ball down to form a cake about 1 1/2 inches thick. Fry the cakes for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Reheat the sauce, and ladle it into plates. Place a rice cake on each plate, and top with the finely chopped scallions.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately:Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. This will help you ensure that your cakes turn out perfectly every time.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients:The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the taste of your cakes. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
  • Bake your cakes at the right temperature:The temperature of your oven will also affect the outcome of your cakes. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start baking.
  • Don't open the oven door while your cakes are baking:Opening the oven door can cause your cakes to fall. Resist the urge to peek, and let them bake undisturbed until they're done.
  • Let your cakes cool completely before frosting them:This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cakes.

Conclusion:

Baking golden cakes is a delicious and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you can create beautiful, flavorful cakes that will impress your friends and family. So get in the kitchen and start baking!
