Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make truly delicious homemade tteokgalbi. It’s a dish loved by all ages, perfect for special occasions or when entertaining guests. Let’s create this wonderful tteokgalbi together, step by step!
Step 2
First, prepare the star of our tteokgalbi: the ground beef. Place 400g of fresh ground beef in a bowl. Finely mince half an onion and add it to the bowl; finely minced onion not only adds a subtle sweetness but also ensures a tender texture. Now, add 1 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp of sesame oil, 1 tsp of oligosaccharide, 2 tsp of plum extract (this is great for tenderizing and adding depth of flavor), and 1 tsp of soy sauce.
Step 3
Finally, add a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix all the ingredients with your hands until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough. Just mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed. And just like that, your tteokgalbi mixture is ready! Isn’t it incredibly simple?
Step 4
Now, heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a little cooking oil. Shape the tteokgalbi mixture into portions of your desired size (about 1cm thick, round patties) and place them in the hot pan. Since it’s beef, avoid overcooking to prevent it from becoming dry. Cook one side until it’s golden brown and the bottom feels firm enough to hold its shape. Then, carefully flip the patties to cook the other side.
Step 5
Once both sides are beautifully golden brown, your homemade tteokgalbi is ready! It looks as good as it tastes, and you won’t miss going to a restaurant for tteokgalbi. Enjoy this delightful dish with a warm bowl of rice!
