Soak the Korean rice cakes in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Drain the rice cakes and add them to the pan, frying until they develop a crispy exterior, approximately 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and water. Mix until the sauce is smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the sauce mixture over the fried rice cakes and stir to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the tteokbokki before serving for added flavor and garnish.
Serve hot and savor the combination of crispy texture and savory kick!
