Spicy, savory, and chewy. Tteokbokki is a beloved Korean dish and has many variations. I am going to show you most basic version (but does not mean most plain tasting). You can add fish cakes, boiled eggs, or even ramen to make this dish a bit more interesting.

Ingredient:

3 pounds of rice cakes

9 cups of anchovy broth

3 tablespoons of Korean red chili pepper paste (gochujang)

1 tablespoon of light soy sauce

Add the rice cakes.  Boil until the rice cakes become very soft and the sauce is thickened, about 8 – 10 minutes. Stir frequently so the rice cakes don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Stir in sesame oil and ready to serve.
