Ingredients

• 300 grams Korean rice cakes (tteok)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 100 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Soak the Korean rice cakes in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Drain the rice cakes and add them to the pan, frying until they develop a crispy exterior, approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and water. Mix until the sauce is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the sauce mixture over the fried rice cakes and stir to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the tteokbokki before serving for added flavor and garnish.

Step 7

Serve hot and savor the combination of crispy texture and savory kick!
