Steamed Clear

This delicious and versatile cellophane noodle cake is a must-try dish, blending chewy noodles with aromatic spices for a unique texture and flavor. The recipe starts by cooking cellophane noodles and infusing them with scallion, ginger, garlic, thirteen spices, and oyster sauce for a savory depth. A thick sweet potato starch paste binds everything together, creating a firm yet tender consistency. Steamed over cabbage leaves to prevent sticking, the mixture cooks evenly with a hole in the center for perfect steam circulation. Once cooled, this noodle cake can be pan-fried for a crispy edge, stir-fried for a quick meal, or added to braised dishes for extra heartiness. The blend of umami-rich oyster sauce and warm thirteen spices makes every bite irresistible. Whether served as a side or main dish, this recipe offers endless possibilities for a satisfying, flavorful experience.
