Spicy Korean Rice Cakes (Tteokbokki) image

This popular street-food dish, called tteokbokki, is a garlicky, richly spiced dish of rice cakes bathed in red chile paste. Tteokbokki (pronounced duck-bo-key) got its own festival, spinning off from the larger annual Seoul festival of rice cakes, or tteok.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces fresh or thawed frozen tteok (see note)
4 ounces beefsteak, such as chuck or sirloin, very thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 cups green cabbage, cut crosswise into large pieces (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)
1 to 2 teaspoons sugar
2 scallions, cut into 1-inch batons
Sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Soak tteok in cold water to cover while preparing the other ingredients, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Combine beef with soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and garlic.
  • Heat a wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add beef mixture and stir-fry just until lightly browned, 1 minute. Add onion, scallions, and cabbage, if using, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add gochujang and mix. Add about 1/3 cup water, remaining teaspoon sesame oil, sugar and tteok. Mix and let simmer until sauce is thick and tteok is soft, adding water a little at a time as needed. Adjust seasonings with sugar and gochujang.
  • Mix in scallions and serve hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds.

It is made with rice cakes (garaetteok, cylinder-shaped rice cake), fish cakes, boiled egg, and seasoned with chile paste. The rice cakes are chewy and tender. It looks super spicy and, originally, it is! But you can control the amount of chile paste. You might be able to find it easily at food vendors on the street of Korea. There are always delicious dukbokki boiling and ready to go. Garnish with sesame seeds if you like.
