Critical Success Points

  • Soak the rice cake for at least 2 hours so it becomes pliable
  • Cook the chicken until it is well browned and cooked through
  • Allow the sauce to reduce properly so the rice cake absorbs the flavors
  • Do not overcook the pak choi to preserve its crunchy texture

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful when handling hot oil – risk of burns
  • Never leave oil unattended on the fire
  • Use heat‑resistant utensils
