Instructions
Heat cooking oil in a wok or large non-stick frying pan over high heat until hot. Add onion and stir-fry for one minute. Add pork and salt, and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through.
Add cabbage, rice cake, sugar, soy and sesame oil, stirring constantly until rice cake has warmed through and softened, adding a small amount of water if needed to stop the rice cake scorching.
Serve with pepper or chilli oil.
Note
• Chinese rice cake is available from selected Asian food stores, often in the frozen section.
