Ingredients
- 1 lb cylindrical tteok (Korean rice cakes) for tteokbokki
- 3 tbsp oil divided
- 1/2 small onion thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Start by boiling a pot of water. Once boiling, add the rice cakes and let them cook for 2 minutes or until they become soft. Then, strain the rice cakes from the water and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with half of the oil, mixing well to ensure they're evenly coated.
- Add the onion, gochugaru, soy sauce, and sugar to the rice cakes. Toss everything together thoroughly for even seasoning.
- Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the seasoned rice cakes to the skillet, cooking them slowly for 3 minutes. Be sure to turn the rice cakes regularly to prevent them from sticking to the pan or burning. If necessary, reduce the heat to low.Cook's tip: Avoid cooking on high heat as the sauce can burn easily. Stir frequently to ensure the sauce coats the rice cakes without burning.
- To finish, drizzle sesame oil over the rice cakes and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy.
