Ingredients
For the Rice Cakes
- 500 grams (1.10 pounds) Korean rice cakes fresh or frozen
- 2 cups (480ml/grams, 16.93 ounces) Korean soup stock (dashi) or water
- 1 cup (225 grams, 7.94 ounces) mozzarella cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil to garnish
- Green onions (scallions) finely chopped, to garnish
- sesame seeds lightly toasted, to garnish
Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 tablespoon Korean chili paste (gochujang)
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Instructions
- Submerge rice cakes in warm water to bring them to room temperature, if you are using frozen rice cakes. If you are using fresh rice cakes, you can skip this step.
- Combine chili flakes, chili paste, granulated sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Add soup stock and rice cakes to a large frying pan over medium to high heat. Bring to boil.
- Add sauce to fry pan and gently stir until the sauce and stock are well combined. Allow the mixture to boil until it thickens.
- Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, lower the heat, and gently push all the rice cakes to the centre of the pan. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top and place a lid on the pan. Cook until the cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
- Serve hot with scallions, sesame seeds, and sesame oil on top.
