Colette's Ovaletts


My friend Colette and I love to cook together, eat out, and talk about food, as she also has food allergies.  She has now three times cooked for me the most delicious wheat/sugar/dairy free dish.  It's a Shanghai dish that she remembers from her childhood.  For this dish, she combines preserved mustard greens, soy beans, chicken and rice ovaletts.  These little ovaletts are made from rice flour and have a satisfying chewiness to them.  You can find them in any Korean or Asian market.  They come fresh or frozen, but we prefer the fresh kind.  This dish is salty, flavorful, comforting and very simple to make!
