Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of about

6 two inch square rice crusts
Pour soup into warmed bowls, carefully slide fried rice
crusts into the soup and serve.
(look for rice crusts in a
Chinese market. See below to
make your own.)
To make Rice Crusts: Combine 1 cup medium or short
grained rice and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan.
Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat
to low and simmer for 25 minutes. Turn off heat and
let stand for 5 minutes. Spread cooked rice in a ¼ inch
thick layer on a greased, shallow baking pan. Cut into
1 ½ - 2 inch squares with a wet knife. Bake in a 350
oven for 50 minutes or until rice squares are firm and
dry. Store rice crusts in an airtight container at room
temperature for up to 6 months.
Serve in warm bowls
