- Fold each square fish cake into thirds and thread those onto skewers as well.
- Strain the broth solids out and return the clear broth to the pot.
- Stir the minced garlic, soup soy sauce, tuna fish sauce and black pepper into the strained broth.
- Slip the rice cake skewers in first and boil for 5 minutes so the cakes swell and drink in the broth.
