Instructions

  1. Add dried kelp, dried anchovies, and 4 cups of water to a frying pan or shallow pot. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes without covering the pot.
  2. Meanwhile, combine gochujang, Korean chili flakes, and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. After 15 minutes of boiling, remove the kelp and anchovies from the pan. Then, add the rice cakes, green onions, boiled eggs, and fish cakes to the pan. Add the prepared sauce and stir gently with a spatula until it is dissolved in the soup.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the rice cakes are soft and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice cakes from sticking to the bottom.
  5. Once the rice cakes are soft and the soup has reduced by half and thickened, turn off the heat. Serve immediately, sprinkled with sesame seeds on top.

Notes

  • Recipe Source: Maangchi
  • If using frozen rice cakes, or the rice cakes are too hard and dry, soak them in water for about 15-20 minutes before cooking. This will help soften them and improve their texture. 
  • Adjust the heat level according to your preference. If you like it spicier, you can increase the amount of gochujang or chili powder. Conversely, if you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of spice.
  • Enhance the flavor and texture of your tteokbokki by adding vegetables like green onions, cabbage, or carrots.
