Ingredients

• 400 grams gluten-free tteokbokki rice cakes
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste, gluten-free)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 2 stalks scallions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the gluten-free tteokbokki rice cakes in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, gochujang, minced garlic, sesame oil, sugar, and optional red pepper flakes to create the sauce.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Drain the rice cakes and add them to the frying pan. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they start getting lightly crispy on the outside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the sauce mixture over the rice cakes. Stir well to coat each piece.

Step 6

Add 1 cup of water to the pan, bring to a simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the rice cakes become tender.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced scallions just before removing the pan from the heat.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve hot.
