Ingredients
- 1 pound 16 ounces cylinder-shaped Korean rice cakes (if using frozen, soak in cold water for 1 hour – fresh can be used straight from the package)
- 4 ounces Korean fish cakes eomuk, cut into bite-sized pieces (optional – soaked if needed, check packaging for proper preparation)
- 2 cups water for more flavor, use chicken stock, vegetable stock, or dashi
- 1/3 cup Gochujang Korean hot pepper paste
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru Korean red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- For Serving. Soft boiled eggs if desired
Instructions
- If using frozen rice cakes and/or fish cakes, soak for 10 minutes or longer (up to 1 hour) in cold water to soften.
- Bring the water or stock to a boil in a pot. Add the gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, garlic, soy sauce, and fish cakes. Stir to combine.
- Bring back to a boil, then add the rice cakes. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the rice cakes are soft but still chewy. The sauce should thicken enough to coat the rice noodles.
- Serve into bowls with optional soft boiled eggs and your favorite garnish (fresh chopped herbs or green onion, chili flakes).
