If using frozen rice cakes, bring a pot of water to boil. Cook the rice cakes for 30-60 seconds. Drain the cakes and add them to the sauce in a bowl. Mix them well to coat with sauce all around.

Step 3

Heat oil in a non-stick surface skillet over medium heat. Saute the cakes for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Serve immediately while hot.
