Korean cuisine: Tteokbokki recipe (Spicy Rice cakes)



Korean food: Tteokbokki recipe

Ingredients:

  • 300g tteok (rice cakes) (soak in water if hard)
  • 100g fish cakes (sliced)
  • 1 stalk green onion (sliced)
  • 1/4 cabbage (optional, shredded)
  • 500ml water
  • 3 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1-2 tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, adjust to desired spice level)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Rice Cakes:

    • Soak the rice cakes in water for a few minutes if they are hard. If using fresh, you can skip this step.

  2. Make the Sauce:

    • In a pan, combine gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well.
    • Add 500ml of water and stir to combine. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil.

  3. Cook the Tteokbokki:

    • Once the sauce starts boiling, add the soaked rice cakes. Stir and cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat, allowing the rice cakes to absorb the sauce and become soft.
    • Stir occasionally to prevent the rice cakes from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

  4. Add Fish Cakes and Green Onion:

    • Add the sliced fish cakes and green onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

  5. Finish:

    • Once the tteokbokki has thickened and the rice cakes are tender, add sesame oil and stir to combine.
    • Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Serving:

Tteokbokki is best served hot. It’s commonly enjoyed with side dishes like kimbap (Korean sushi rolls) or fried foods.

Enjoy your Tteokbokki!
