Shanghai Rice Cake in Soup 上海湯年糕

I used Korean rice cakes that can be found in the refrigerated section of many supermarkets. But you can also use the dried Chinese ones. They tend not to be as chewy as the Korean ones and may take a shorter cooking time but longer soaking time. You can easily make this into a vegetarian dish and can substitute the Shanghai salted pork belly with any meat. Green cabbage, carrots, shepherd’s purse, spinach, bok choy, various mushrooms, and various preserved vegetables are also commonly used.
