Pan-Fried Vegetable Rice Cake

Executive chef Mui-tak Hui and head chef Lap-kwan Cheung join forces to demonstrate pan-fried vegetable rice cake — a Teochew traditional "guo" made by folding finely diced vegetable scraps into a rice-flour batter and pan-frying until crisp. A small bite of nostalgia, made from what would have been wasted.
