TTEOKBOKKI (Spicy Rice Cake)

Step 1

To make the base, combine in a bowl the gochujang (red chilli paste), soy sauce, brown sugar, Korean chili flakes and chopped cloves of garlic. Give it a good mix then set it aside.

Step 2

Next, create the special sauce by putting 2 cups of Anchovy Broth or just water in a medium-heated pan. Add the base you've prepared a while ago. Carefully stir the mixture and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Now, add the medium-chopped onions. Let it seethe again for 5-7 minutes before putting in the rice cakes. You can then add some fried tofu or fish cake for extra flavor if you like.

Step 4

Mix and coat the rice cakes with the sauce. Boil it until the rice cakes get chewy in texture. Estimated 7-10 mins of boiling will do. Drizzle with sesame oil and spatter with sesame seeds.

Step 5

Finally, transfer into a presentable platter and sprinkle a good amount of spring onions. Enjoy!
