Ingredients
- 1.5 C cylindrical rice cakes Korean tteok
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream or whole milk
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ C Parmesan Cheese
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 1 oz pancetta or guanciale, bacon or ham
- ¼ C reserved hot cooking liquid
Garnish: (optional)
- Cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Add refrigerated rice cakes to a colander or sieve and rinse under running cold water.
- Drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, cream, black pepper and parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water up to a boil.
- Add in the rice cakes and cook for a few minutes, until they float to the surface, about 5 minutes (add extra time if cooking from frozen).
- In the meantime, heat up 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add in the grated garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add in the pancetta (or bacon/guanciale/ham) and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, but leave the pan on the burner.
- Use a slotted spoon to quickly transfer the cooked rice cakes into the frying pan (it's OK if some of the water drips into the pan). Reserve about ¼ C of the hot cooking liquid.
- Toss the rice cakes with the garlic and pancetta mixture.
- Remove the pan off the heat and pour in the egg yolk mixture, quickly stirring to coat all the rice cakes (as to not scramble the egg).
- Add some of the reserved hot cooking liquid to loosen to your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately with additional cracked black pepper and chopped cilantro (or parsley).
