Ingredients

• 400 grams Gluten-free Korean rice cakes
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free tamari or soy sauce substitute
• 2 teaspoons Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 cups Water
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Soak the gluten-free Korean rice cakes in warm water for 15-20 minutes if they are hard or refrigerated, to make them pliable.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot or deep skillet, combine the gluten-free gochujang, gluten-free tamari, gochugaru, minced garlic, sugar, and water. Stir well to create the sauce base.

Step 3

Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat and stir occasionally to ensure everything blends together.

Step 4

Drain the soaked rice cakes and add them to the pot or skillet. Stir to coat them fully in the sauce.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice cakes become soft and chewy and the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Add the sliced green onions during the last 2 minutes of cooking and mix well.

Step 7

Drizzle the sesame oil on top, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and give everything a final stir to combine the flavors.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free tteokbokki as a snack or a satisfying meal!
