Tteokbokki

Description

Tteokbokki is a very popular rice cake (tteok) dish from Korea. I got to be aware of this dish after watching a bunch of Korean dramas.

Here is my own twist, combining recipe I followed with bunch of fun toppings I like, with reduced amount of the tteok itself.

Ingredients

• Tteok (Korean rice cake), short tubular shape
• 5-10 large anchovy
• 5-10 pieces of kelp - well, depends how big they are
• 3 tbs of gochujang (Korean fermented chili paste. Mildest)
• 3 green onion, cut 2 cm long
• 1-2 cup of water
• 2 hard boiled eggs, peel
• 2 sheets of fish cake
• 1 sachet of sweetener
• Optional

  Cut into bite size:

  • Enoki or other mushroom
  • Fish or beef balls
  • Fried/layered tofu
  • Konyaku

Steps

1. Make broth: boil anchovy and kelp in 1-2 cup of water for 10-15 minutes, remove chunks from the pan.
2. Boil frozen tteok just to soften
3. Add gochujang and sweetener/sugar to the broth, mix well
4. Add the rest of ingredients, cook a little more until everything is heated up.
