Ingredients
- 2 cups Tteokbokki Rice Cakes Tteokbokki tteok (1 cup = 6 oz)
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang (red chili paste)
- 4 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp soy sauce jin ganjang
- 1.5 cups kelp broth or water or anchovy broth
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder Substitute fresh chopped garlic just double the amount of powder
- sesame seeds sprinkling (optional)
- sesame oil swirl (optional)
Instructions
- Make Kelp broth - soak dried kelp (Dasima) or Kombu in hot water for at least 10 min. Substituting with plain water is OK but won't be as flavorful.
- Prepare Rice Cakes - If you have fresh or refrigerated rice cakes then just pull them apart so they are all separated. If your tteok/dduk is frozen, defrost by soaking it in cold water for a few minutes and then drain.
- Pour kelp broth (or water) into a pan. Add tteok (rice cakes) from 2 and turn heat on medium high and bring to boil.
- Add Tteokbokki Sauce - you can premix the sauce in a bowl first or you can just add Gochujang, sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder or chopped garlic directly and mix in the pan. Optionally, add fish cakes cut into strips.
- Once it starts to boil, lower heat to simmer and let it reduce for 10-13 min depending on how thick you want the sauce to be. The picture below shows after I simmered for 12min with some gochugaru (red chili powder) sprinkled for extra spicy kick!
- Sprinkle some chopped green onions, sesame seeds and a swirl of sesame oil (which I forgot in the video..oops!). ENJOY!!
Notes
- How to Store Leftovers - store leftover tteokbokki in the fridge up to 3-4 days.
- How to Reheat Tteokbokki - you can reheat in the microwave with a splash of water added OR you can reheat in a pan on medium heat with 3-4 Tbs of water added until the tteok becomes soft.
- Topping Ideas - BOILED EGG is a very popular topping that adds protein to Tteokbokki. You can also top with Mozzarella cheese, Ramen noodles and dumplings. And Japchae (cellophane) noodles!
- Make it GLUTEN FREE - use GF gochujang and soy sauce to make it Vegan and Gluten Free.
