Main Ingredients- 4 Eggs
- 300g Tteokbokki rice cakes
- 1 Onion
- Olive oil, as needed
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Parsley flakes, optional
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one onion by washing it thoroughly, then peel and slice it into thin strips. Sautéing these onion strips will bring out their natural sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor of the tteokbokki.
Step 2
Rinse the 300g of tteokbokki rice cakes in cold water. Bring a pot of water to a boil, and once boiling, add the rice cakes. Blanch them for about 1-2 minutes. This step prevents the rice cakes from becoming too soft or hard and helps them absorb the flavors better when stir-fried. Drain the blanched rice cakes.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté them slowly until they become translucent and release a sweet aroma. For an even richer flavor, add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the onions.
Step 4
Once the onions are nicely sautéed, add the drained tteokbokki rice cakes to the pan. Stir-fry them together with the onions. To prevent sticking, add a little more olive oil and season with salt. Continue to stir-fry until the rice cakes are slightly golden brown for a better texture.
Step 5
Now, crack the 4 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk them gently. Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the tteokbokki and onions in the pan. As the eggs begin to set, gently stir them with chopsticks or a spatula, allowing them to cook and scramble with the rice cakes. The eggs will cook into soft curds, creating the signature fluffy texture. Finally, sprinkle with parsley flakes if desired for an extra touch of color and freshness.
