  3. 3
    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer while stirring until smooth and fully combined.
  4. 4
    Add the rice cakes and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly to prevent sticking.
  5. 5
    Continue simmering for 10–12 minutes until the rice cakes become soft and chewy and the sauce thickens noticeably.

    Slice the boiled eggs in half and add them during the final few minutes of cooking.
  7. 7
    Scatter sliced spring onions over the top before serving.
  8. 8
