Royal Rice Cake (Gungjung Tteokbbokki)
Description
This Royal Rice Cake recipe features Korean rice cakes soaked or slightly boiled to soften them before stir-frying. Rib eye steak is thinly sliced and marinated with soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, rice wine, and sesame oil to enhance its flavor. Vegetables including onion, bell peppers, and shiitake mushrooms add color and texture variety. The seasoning sauce incorporates soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic to tie the dish together with a mildly sweet and savory taste.
The cooking method involves quickly stir-frying onions and steak until just cooked, then adding mushrooms, rice cakes, peppers, and the seasoning sauce. This quick cooking approach results in tender beef, softened rice cakes that remain chewy, and crisp-tender vegetables. Garnishing with green onion slices and toasted sesame seeds adds fresh aroma and texture contrast.
Gungjung Tteokbbokki is a satisfying meal featuring a balance of meat, vegetables, and chewy rice cakes. It can be served as a main dish for lunch or dinner, showcasing a mild soy-based sauce ideal for those preferring less spicy Korean dishes.
