Rice Cake Prep
Getting ready for a big training session and looking for something tasty to take with you? Look no further than Dr. Allen Lim's rice cakes. You can find a plethora of recipes in the Feed Zone Portables Cookbook, but here is a sneak peek of a few of Allen's favorites!
Allen doesn't use exact measurement, he goes by his senses. He's also been making rice cakes for over a decade, so his palate is highly tuned. The recipes below contain approximate amounts for 4 cups of dry rice (the max for Allen's rice cooker).
Equipment
Rice cooker / large saucepan
Rice paddle
Large mixing bowl
9" x 12" rimmed sheet pan

Assembly
Rinse rice until water runs clear
Cook rice per rice cooker instruction
Carefully (it's hot!) move rice into large bowl
Use rice paddle to fold in wet ingredients while rice is hot
Fold in dry ingredients
Taste! It is salty/sweet enough? Do the ingredient flavors come though? If it doesn't taste good, add what it's missing! These are not instructions as much as suggestions and framework.
Once it tastes good transfer to sheet pan and spread out to about 1.5 inches thick
Use rice paddle to cut into 3inx3in squares
Place 1 square onto Skratch paper and wrap it up!
