Where to find ingredients
Buy the ingredients at a local supermarket or grocery store: rice, flour, eggs, and oil in the dry goods and cooking oils aisles; fresh parsley, coriander, and spring onions at the produce section; salt in the pantry staples aisle. If needed, use a neutral vegetable oil substitute for the listed oil.
Preparation method
- Cook the rice in salted water until very soft
- Drain off any excess water, if there is any
- In a blender, blend the cooked rice with the egg, parsley, coriander, and chopped spring onion until smooth
- Transfer the dough to a pan
- Add the wheat flour little by little, mixing as you go
- Place the pan over low heat and cook the dough, stirring constantly, until it releases completely from the bottom of the pan and forms a ball
- Season with salt to taste
- Remove the dough from the pan and let it cool slightly
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a log about 2 cm in diameter
- Cut the gnocchi into pieces about 2 cm long
- In a large pot, bring plenty of salted water and about 4 tablespoons of oil to a boil
- Add the gnocchi to the boiling water a little at a time so they do not stick together
- Remove the gnocchi from the water as soon as they rise to the surface, indicating they are cooked
- Drain the cooked gnocchi and, if desired, finish by sautéing them in a skillet with the remaining vegetable oil or serve immediately with the sauce of your choice
