Crispy Pan Fried Ddeokbokki

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil and add in frozen rice cakes. Cook for about 3 mins, until soft. Drain well and drizzle 2 tbsp vegetable oil and mix well. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, add minced garlic and all the seasoning together and mix well. It should be a thick paste. You might need to taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly. (Note: If you are making for children, go easy on the red pepper powder)

Step 3

In a non-stick pan or skillet add in 2 tbsp vegetable oil and bring the heat to high. Add in the rice cakes and stir fry them for 2 mins, separating them from each other. The skin of the rice cakes will crisp up.

Step 4

Switch to low heat and add in the seasoning sauce. Mix well and cook for about 2 mins until the sauce coats each of the rice cake.

Step 5

Transfer onto a plate and serve. They taste great at room temperature too!
