I recently discovered this kind of rice cakes, nián gāo, which is a kind of sliced oval fresh rice noodle. Incredibly practical, just pop them straight in the pan without preparation, and deliciously chewy texture, a bit like a Chinese gnocchi. Since I prefer to cook without meat, here is a vegan version
