Ingredients

  • 12 oz rice cake strips
  • 8 oz pork or chicken, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., cabbage, carrot, bell pepper), shredded
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the 12 oz rice cake strips in warm water for 15 minutes, then drain well.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the 8 oz sliced pork or chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the 2 cups shredded vegetables and stir-fry until slightly softened but still crisp, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the drained rice cakes and 3 tbsp soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together, tossing frequently, until the rice cakes are heated through and slightly chewy, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Add the 3 sliced green onions and toss for 1 minute until everything is well combined and hot.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, adding a splash of water if the rice cakes stick to the pan.
