ingredients:
- 1 square rice cake
- 2 pieces dried laver
- 1 frozen pie sheet (about 8 in. × 8 in.)
- one beaten egg

step 1:
Thaw the frozen pie sheet at room temperature for 10 minutes. Cut it into two rectangles about 4 in. × 8 in. each. Cut the rice cake in half.

step 2:
Preheat the oven to 390 °F. Place one piece of dried laver around each rice cake half. Put the two rice cake halves with laver on top of the two pie sheet rectangles.

step 3:
Spread a little of the beaten egg around the edges of each rectangle. Fold each sheet over the rice cakes. To make the edges stick together, press a fork along three sides.

step 4:
Spread wax paper in a cake pan. Put the pies on the wax paper.

step 5:
Spread the remaining beaten egg over the top of the pies. Bake in the oven at 390 °F for 20 minutes.

comment:
The laver becomes an accent to the distinct taste of the rice cake and pie sheet. This dish is very delicious.
