Rice Cake Soup With Bok Choy and Edamame image

This fresh soup is a riff on something that a Chinese or Korean mom might make, with rice cakes added to bulk it up. You can find the white, oval disks in most Asian supermarkets; they are made with glutinous rice flour and have a chewy texture. They are precooked, but will rehydrate and soak up more liquid in this soup. If you find that they have soaked up too much, simply add a little more broth or water to thin out the soup. Substituting one to two cups of cooked rice to the soup in place of the rice cakes works well if you don't have access to an Asian grocery store.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 medium leeks, trimmed, white and light green parts cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 bunch scallions (about 6), whites and greens separated, thinly sliced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups chicken stock
2 medium heads baby bok choy (about 8 ounces), trimmed, stems and leaves divided, stems cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups fresh or frozen rice cakes (about 10 ounces)
1 cup frozen shelled edamame
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • In a pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add leeks, scallion whites and ginger, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden at the edges and softened, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Add chicken stock and bok choy stems, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce the heat and simmer and cook until the broth is flavorful, about 10 minutes. Add rice cakes and simmer until plump, about 8 minutes.
  • Add edamame and bok choy leaves and stir until bright green, about 1 minute. Swirl in the beaten eggs in a slow, steady stream, stirring gently to make sure the eggs form long ribbons. Stir in the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with remaining scallion greens.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and ginger to give it more flavor.
