Salt-and-Pepper Pork With Crispy Rice Cakes

Name: Salt-and-Pepper Pork With Crispy Rice Cakes
Cuisine: Asian, Korean
Ingredients: 8 oz. Korean rice cakes; 2 Tbsp. (or more) vegetable oil; 8 oz. ground pork, turkey, or chicken; 1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced; 4 scallions, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced; Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper; 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces; 1 Tbsp. soy sauce; 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

Instructions

You’ll find Korean rice cakes in all kinds of shapes and sizes—from long cylinders to thin, oblong rounds. While their flavor does not change according to shape, textures do. Thin rice cakes work well for this stir-fry, as they quickly absorb flavors and soften into crispy, chewy coins.
