Easy Stir Fried Rice Cakes With Xo Sauce

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 shallot, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 large zucchini, cut into half-moons about ½ inch thick

12 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps thinly sliced

8 ounces fresh Asian rice cakes, soaked according to package instructions

⅓ cup chicken stock

2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

2 cups shredded cabbage

¼ cup XO sauce

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Salt

1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the shallot, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry just until aromatic, about 20 seconds. Add the zucchini and shiitake mushrooms and cook for 1 minute.

2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the rice cakes. Stir-fry until they start to turn golden, about 2 minutes.

3. Add the stock, cover the wok or skillet with a lid and let steam until the rice cakes have softened and most of the liquid is gone, about 3 minutes. Uncover and add the rice wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula if any of the rice cakes are stuck to the bottom. Add the cabbage, XO sauce and rice vinegar. Stir so that everything in the pan gets evenly coated and cook for 1 minute more.

4. Adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed. Transfer to a plate and serve.
