Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add ground pork and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in ginger and white scallion parts; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Push pork to the side. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the cleared space and lay rice cakes flat.

  5. Step 5

    Cook rice cakes 2–3 minutes per side without stirring until edges turn golden and crispy.

  6. Step 6

    Pour soy sauce and chili oil over everything; toss gently for 30 seconds until coated.

  7. Step 7

    Plate immediately. Top with green scallion parts and serve hot.
