3 Tbspglucose syrup

Instructions

Step 1

Mix together the ingredients for the sauce until well combined.

Step 2

In a wok or large fry pan, fry the white part of the spring onion, the carrot, tofu, and Chinese broccoli for a minute. When lightly coated in the oil and the pan is hot again, add the rice cakes. Add the sauce all over the pan, and mix through. Reduce the heat to medium and allow the sauce to bubble away and cook the rice cakes. This will take about 10 minutes, during which time the sauce will reduce and cling to the rice cakes. When they’re cooking, you’ll be able to seperate any rice cakes that stuck together while being packaged. If the sauce hasn’t reduced enough by the time the rice cakes softened (they should be chewy but a bit floppy/bendy), you can add some cornstarch slurry.

Step 3

Turn off the heat and stir through the green part of the spring onion. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds to serve.
