I wanted to try rice cakes after I heard about the texture because I’m into stuff like that. I ended up using it in a hot pot with a soup base package and added the spicy sauce in the hot pot instead of straight cooking it in just the sauce . It’s just my preference. If you were to cook it in just the sauce OH BOY is it spicy ! I would scale it 8/10 spice. I HAVE ORDERED ANOTHER PACKAGE ! This will be my 3rd order of it ! Can’t get enough ! Great product and comes with a lot I can eat half of it one night and the other half for lunch the next day.
