Instructions

In a large sauté pan on high heat, combine the chicken stock and rice cakes and quickly bring to a boil.

Add in the chili flakes, brown sugar, garlic, chili paste and shoyu; stir well then turn the heat to low and allow the liquid to reduce by half, about 10 minutes, making sure to stir regularly and scrape the bottom of the pan, as the rice cakes will release starch and cause the liquid to thicken, stick to the bottom of the pan and can easily burn.Once the sauce is thick, add in shelled boiled eggs and fishcake and cook for another5 minutes or until hot. Garnish with the green onions and serve immediately.
