Tteokbokki, also spelled dukbokki or topokki, is one of South Korea's most beloved street foods and a quintessential dish in Korean cuisine. This spicy, cheesy, slightly sweet chewy rice cake is the best way to start your weekend!
Ingredients
- ½ Onion optional**, sliced
- ¼ Cabbage sliced
- 3 cups Korean Rice Cake
- 2 cups Dashi Stock or Vegetable Stock
- 1.5-2 tbsp of Gochujang
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 0.5 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Garlic minced
- 3 tsp Korean Chilli Flakes
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Black Pepper optional
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 1 cup fish cakes optional
Instructions
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and add Gochujang, Sugar, Gochugaru, Honey, Garlic, black pepper, and Soy Sauce.
- Add a splash of dashi stock, Mix, and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the rest of the dashi stock and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add in onion and let it simmer for 3 minutes. (optional)
- Add rice cake and cook for another 5-6 minutes; make sure that all the rice cake is soaked in the sauce.
- Finally, add in any toppings of your choice, I like fish cake and cabbage, and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
- Optional but highly recommend: add 1 cup of cheese and broil it in the oven till cheese is melted, or cover with a lid on so the cheese fully melts.
