How to Make Delicious Tteokbokki at Home! 떡볶이

Tteokbokki (떡볶이) Recipe Ingredients (Serves 2-3): For the Sauce: 3 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste) 2 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes) 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste) 1 tsp minced garlic 2 cups water or dashi stock (for deeper flavor) Main Ingredients: 300g Korean rice cakes (tteok) 100g fish cakes (sliced into strips) 1 small onion (thinly sliced) 2 green onions (cut into 2-inch pieces) 2 boiled eggs (optional, peeled) Sesame seeds (for garnish) Instructions: Prepare the Rice Cakes: If using refrigerated or frozen rice cakes, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften. Make the Sauce: In a pan, mix the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and water or dashi stock. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is well combined and starts to simmer. Cook the Tteokbokki: Add the softened rice cakes, fish cakes, and sliced onions to the pan. Stir to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Simmer: Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the rice cakes become chewy and soft. Add water if the sauce gets too thick. Add Final Ingredients: Stir in the green onions and add the boiled eggs during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with sesame seeds, and enjoy while hot! Tips: For a milder version, reduce the amount of gochugaru and sugar. Add cheese on top for a creamy, fusion-style tteokbokki. Include extra veggies like cabbage or carrots for more texture. Enjoy this classic Korean street food as a quick snack or a comforting meal! 🌶️
