Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your tteokbokki rice cakes. If they are too stiff, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Immediately rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and drain well. Toss the drained rice cakes with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. This prevents them from sticking together and adds a lovely nutty aroma.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the pan is warm, add the prepared rice cakes. Stir-fry them for about 3 minutes, or until the outer surface feels slightly crispy and chewy. Adding butter will enhance the nutty flavor and overall richness.
Step 3
Once the rice cakes are lightly fried, turn off the heat temporarily. Now, add all the seasoning ingredients: 3 tablespoons of gochugaru, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon of rice wine. Mix everything well to coat the rice cakes evenly with the spicy and sweet sauce.
Step 4
Turn the heat back on to medium and continue to stir-fry for another minute, allowing the sauce to fully coat and thicken around the rice cakes. Your delicious Gireum Tteokbokki is now ready! It’s best enjoyed immediately while warm. It makes a perfect snack for kids or a great accompaniment to drinks. ♡
