Tofu offers a plant-based alternative that is budget-friendly.

black pepper

🥗Healthier: white pepper

Paprika adds color and mild flavor at a lower cost.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and versatile.

🥗Healthier: ginger powder

💰Cheaper: ground turmeric

Turmeric is often less expensive and provides a similar earthy flavor.

Mix rice flour and water in a bowl until smooth.

Add baking powder and salt, stirring to combine.

In a separate bowl, combine pork, black pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions.

Knead the rice flour mixture until it forms a dough.

Divide the dough into equal portions and flatten each into a disc.

Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each disc.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal tightly.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Place the filled rice cakes in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer the rice cakes to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
