Hey everybody I was hoping someone could help. I bought white rice
cakes in a package in the noodles section of an Asian grocery. I have
had stir fried rice cakes before (live in queens, ny)so I assume they
are the same. Problem is the directions are in Chinese. I tried
boiling them and stir frying them but they didn't puff up and i didnt
so how long. I cant fry them directly as they are hard as a rock.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks in advance

i think i know these 'rice cakes' you're talking about. years ago i
asked about them [here] and people thought i was pulling their leg or
something. i chucked them all. they're no 'cakes'! indeed they're
hard as a rock, and they're tasteless. what the hell is this thing anyway?

i want to know where in China these 'rocks' are from and how they eat
them. going to China for the second time in 3 weeks and i really don't
want to have to go to the town where they make them to find out.

Only rice cakes I've seen are Korean rice cake spicy appetizer.
Its usually a hot spicy dish with scallions and peppers. Same?
