Instructions

  1. Step 1

    If using firm rice cakes, soak in warm water for 10 minutes to soften; if using fresh, skip this step. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rice cakes in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Flip the rice cakes and cook the other side until golden and slightly puffed, another 3-4 minutes. They should be crispy outside but still chewy inside.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to low. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil, tossing to coat the rice cakes evenly. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce is absorbed and glossy.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve hot as a snack or side dish.
