7 In the past, people only ate fried rice cakes during the Chinese New Year. Now, the production method of rice cakes has improved, and they are vacuum-packed, making them less likely to mold and can be eaten all year round. Rice cake is made of glutinous rice and is very sticky, so don't slice it too thick, otherwise it will be difficult to taste. But if it is too thin, it will be too soft and not chewy.

8 Main matters:

1. If it is dry rice cake slices, soak them overnight in advance. It is best to put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh in hot weather;

2. Rice cake itself does not have much flavor, so it needs to absorb the flavor of other side dishes. In addition to vegetables and a small amount of meat, it is best to have snow vegetables, which will make the fried rice cake more delicious (it can be bought in major supermarkets, called "Xuelihong" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and "Paicai" in Hunan and Hubei);

3. Add the rice cake slices when the side dishes are 70% to 80% cooked. Remove from the pan soon after adding them, otherwise the rice cake will be too soft and not tasty.

4. Add a small spoonful of broth and stir-fry for 1 minute. This will allow the rice cake to be coated with more sauce, but the amount of broth should not be too much. If the side dishes produce a lot of water after frying, the amount of broth should be reduced as appropriate;

5. The rice cake may stick to the pan when heated. Stir-fry from time to time after adding it to prevent it from sticking.

6. Chili sauce itself is salty, so the amount should be controlled to avoid it being too salty.
