Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Korean rice cakes (tteok)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 100 milliliters Water
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Soak the Korean rice cakes in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them. Drain before use.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and slice the green onions diagonally, separating the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, mix the gochujang, soy sauce, maple syrup, and gochugaru with 100 ml of water to create the sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the drained rice cakes to the pan, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes until they start becoming slightly golden and crispy on the outside.
Pour the prepared sauce over the rice cakes and stir well to evenly coat the tteok.
Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, and the rice cakes become soft and chewy.
Remove from heat and garnish with the sliced green parts of the green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Fried Tteokbokki!
