Introducing a carrot sauce that bursts with refreshing flavor and creamy texture! It’s absolutely delicious when paired with grilled tteokbokki rice cakes! Experience a delightful combination that’s both familiar and exciting.
Ingredients- 2 medium carrots
- 1-2 egg yolks (adjust to taste)
- 5 Tbsp oligodang (Korean oligosaccharide syrup) or honey
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 block cream cheese (approx. 100g)
- 30ml milk (for consistency adjustment)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the carrots and cut them into large pieces. Place them in a pot with plenty of water and boil for about 30 minutes until they become very tender. Once the carrots are fully cooked, drain them in a sieve and let them cool slightly. While the carrots are cooling, separate the egg yolks and set them aside. (Having the yolks ready makes the sauce-making process smoother!)
Step 2
Place the well-cooked carrots into a blender or food processor. Add 1 to 2 fresh egg yolks to the carrots. The egg yolks will add a rich creaminess and depth of flavor to the sauce.
Step 3
Next, add one block of soft cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. The cream cheese will contribute a wonderfully smooth and savory element to the sauce, while the brown sugar enhances the sweetness.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to adjust the sweetness to your preference. Add 5 tablespoons of sweet oligodang or honey. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to increase the amount, or reduce it if you like it less sweet. It’s best to taste and adjust as you go!
Step 5
Finally, gradually add milk to achieve your desired sauce consistency. Start with about 30ml of milk, and blend. Check the consistency and add more milk if it’s too thick, until you reach a smooth, creamy texture. Aim for a slightly thick consistency that’s perfect for dipping rice cakes or spreading.
Step 6
With all the ingredients ready, transfer them to a blender or food processor and blend until everything is completely smooth and well combined. Listen to the ‘whirr’ as the ingredients transform into a luscious carrot sauce. Blend a few more times to ensure there are no lumps and the texture is perfectly creamy.
Step 7
Ta-da! Your delicious Enchanting Carrot Sauce is ready! Dip your perfectly grilled tteokbokki rice cakes into this sauce for an incredibly satisfying bite. The subtle sweetness of the carrots, the richness of the cream cheese, and the overall sweetness create a truly new and fantastic flavor combination. This sauce is also wonderful as a dip for other snacks or as a spread for sandwiches!
