Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g tteok (Korean rice cakes)
  • 2 fish cakes, sliced, optional
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 300 ml water or anchovy stock
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil, to finish

Method
 

  1. If the rice cakes are hard or frozen, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften.
  2. Bring the water or stock to a simmer in a wide pan. Whisk in the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce and sugar.
  3. Add the rice cakes and fish cakes, if using. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and clings to the rice cakes.
  4. Scatter with spring onions, drizzle with sesame oil, and serve straight from the pan.
