Let’s make Tteokgalbi, a true rice thief!
Ingredients- 500g ground beef
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Don’t have many side dishes? How about this golden recipe for Tteokgalbi that can easily be enjoyed with two bowls of rice?
Step 2
Add the sugar as indicated to the ground meat. This helps to tenderize the meat and enhance its flavor.
Step 3
Next, add the sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma.
Step 4
Incorporate the minced garlic for a pungent kick and the black pepper to remove any gamey smell from the meat.
Step 5
Finally, add the soy sauce. If you are using more meat, feel free to increase the amount of soy sauce proportionally. For a Tteokgalbi that holds its shape better and doesn’t crumble easily, a small amount of flour (about 1/2 tsp) can be added to the mixture.
Step 6
Finely chop or julienne the onion. Add the prepared onion to the meat mixture. Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands until it becomes sticky and well-combined. This kneading process is crucial for achieving the right texture and helps in shaping the patties. Form the Tteokgalbi into your desired shapes and sizes.
Step 7
Preheat a frying pan over medium-low heat with a generous amount of oil. Place the shaped Tteokgalbi onto the hot pan. Allow the bottom side to cook undisturbed for a little longer than usual. This initial searing helps to firm up the patty, making it less likely to break when you flip it. Cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
And there you have it – delicious homemade Tteokgalbi! This savory delight is guaranteed to make two bowls of rice disappear in no time. Enjoy your meal!
