Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for a delicious Cream Tteok-Sundae. Refer to the detailed descriptions below for how to prepare each item.
Step 2
Soak the tteokguk tteok in cold water for about 10 minutes until softened. Drain them well. Cut the sundae into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Thinly slice the garlic cloves to release their aroma. Julienne the perilla leaves finely. Mince the Korean chili peppers if you prefer a spicier dish. Slice the remaining vegetables (onion, mushroom, bell pepper, broccoli) into relatively large pieces for a pleasant texture when cooked.
Step 4
Heat olive oil and butter in a wide pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and onions and sauté until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the tteokguk tteok, store-bought cream sauce, and milk to the pan with the sautéed garlic and onions. Stir well to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently before proceeding to the next step.
Step 6
Now, add the sundae and the prepared vegetables (excluding perilla leaves and minced chili peppers) to the pan. Pour in 100ml of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until both the sundae and the rice cakes are tender. Ensure you stir frequently to prevent the tteok from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Once the tteok and sundae are cooked through, add the cheddar cheese and let it melt into the sauce, making it richer and more flavorful. Taste the dish and add salt if needed to adjust the seasoning. Continue stirring to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and sprinkle with parsley flakes for a beautiful garnish. If children will be eating this or if you prefer a milder dish, stop here for a smooth and creamy Tteok-Sundae.
Step 9
For those who enjoy a spicier flavor, garnish with the julienned perilla leaves and minced Korean chili peppers just before serving. This adds a refreshing kick and aromatic depth to the dish.
