Notes

  • Reheating Instructions
  • Tteokbokki is truly the best eaten freshly made, but if you happen to have any leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
  • When you're ready to reheat them, transfer the tteokbokki to a skillet, cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally (so the sauce doesn't burn). Once the rice cakes have softened through, remove them from the heat and enjoy.
  • Tips and Tricks for Success
  • Unless you're using fresh rice cakes, it's important to soak them in water so they soften and really absorb some of the spicy sauce as they simmer.
  • If your rice cakes aren't soft enough, you can stir in a small amount of water or more stock and continue to simmer for a few more minutes.
  • Make and use anchovy stock for best results. It adds the subtle umami flavor to the dish that I think is the very best!
