Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Korean rice cakes
- 200 grams Fish cakes
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Water
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Soak the Korean rice cakes in warm water for about 10 minutes if they are hard. Drain and set aside.
Cut the fish cakes into bite-sized triangles or rectangles.
In a large pan or skillet, combine gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and water. Stir until well mixed.
Bring the sauce mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium heat.
Add the soaked rice cakes to the sauce. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice cakes have softened and absorbed flavor.
Add the fish cakes and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
If the sauce reduces too much and becomes too thick, add a little more water to loosen it to desired consistency.
Once the rice cakes and fish cakes are cooked through and the sauce is thickened, remove from heat.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your spicy and sweet teokbokki!
