Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, ½ the spices, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, cut the carrots into matchsticks (or thinly slice crosswise).
- Thinly slice the string peas lengthwise.
- Cut the radishes into matchsticks (or thinly slice).
- Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
- Crumble the patties.
Make the pickled vegetables
- In a medium pan, bring 1 cup water (double for 4 portions), ½ the vinegar and ½ the chili sauce to a boil.
- Transfer to a bowl and add the carrots, string peas, radishes and remaining spices; toss well.
- Cover with plastic wrap and reserve the pan.
Cook & coat the crumbled patties
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the white bottoms of the scallions and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the crumbled patties and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 min., until beginning to brown.
- Add the soy sauce, and remaining vinegar and chili sauce.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
