Deep Fried Devils (Yao Ja Guai)

Do ahead early in the day. Fried bread sticks need not be hot when served.
When you serve Deep Fried Devils with joak, just put a few into the bowl of joak and let them soften a little before eating. They are devilishly good!


Thick Rice Soup (Joak)

Yield: Serves 4 to 8

l/2 cup long grained rice
l/2 cup glutinous rice
5 quarts chicken broth
1 lb ground pork
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp salt
2 stalks scallions
12 water chestnuts

Condiments:
Sesame oil
White pepper
2-3 green onions, finely chopped
1 bunch Chinese parsley (cilentro), finely chopped
1/2 cup sweet cucumber, finely chopped
I/2 cup Szechwan turnip (ja choy), finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
10-12 deep fried devils

Preparation: Rinse rice 2 or 3 times. Soak overnight. Mince scallions and water chestnuts. Mix with ground pork, soy sauce and salt.
Cooking: Bring stock and rice to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer for 2-3 hours or until the rice breaks
down completely and the soup becomes thick and creamy. Turn heat up and add ground pork mixture, shaping 1 tsp. at a time into a small ball and dropping it into the soup. Cook for 5 minutes or until pork balls are done. Correct seasoning. Serve in individual soup bowls. Pass the condiments around for each person to choose his favorite toppings.
Make ahead and reheat slowly.
Comments: You can also use chicken slices, ground beef, fish filet or ham slices. A roast chicken or turkey carcass is excellent for making the stock. Just cook the carcass, rice and water together. Take out the carcass when the soup is done.
