- 1 packet Ramen noodles
Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 3 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Tbsp Guk-ganjang (Korean soup soy sauce)
- 3 Tbsp Sugar
- 1L Water
- 2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your tteokbokki rice cakes. If they are stuck together, gently separate them. Rinse them lightly in cold water 1-2 times. (You can use either rice tteok or wheat tteok!)
Step 2
Cut the 3 sheets of flat fish cake into bite-sized pieces. You can cut them into irregular shapes (‘motnani’ style) or triangles – whatever is easiest and most appealing for kids!
Step 3
Thickly slice the onion and roughly chop the green onion. Adding vegetables will deepen the flavor of the broth significantly.
Step 4
Slice the sausages diagonally. If you’re making this for children, consider cutting them into cute shapes!
Step 5
In a wide pan or pot, heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Add the chopped green onions and sliced onions and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir-frying them like this brings out their natural sweetness, making the dish even more delicious.
Step 6
Add the sliced sausages and fish cakes to the stir-fried vegetables and cook for another minute. This allows the ingredients to get coated in the oil.
Step 7
Now, pour in 1L of water. Add 2 Tbsp gochujang, 3 Tbsp gochugaru, 3 Tbsp guk-ganjang, and 3 Tbsp sugar to create the sauce. Stir everything together until well combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the amount of sugar or chili flakes according to your personal preference.
Step 8
Once the sauce comes to a boil, add the 2 hard-boiled eggs and the rice cakes. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the rice cakes become soft and chewy. Be mindful of the cooking time to prevent the tteok from becoming too mushy.
Step 9
When the rice cakes are cooked, add the ramen noodles and continue to cook over high heat for just 2-3 minutes. It’s important not to overcook the ramen so it doesn’t become soggy.
Step 10
Once the ramen noodles are perfectly cooked, your delicious rabokki, or ‘ratteokbokki,’ is ready! For an extra treat, you can top it with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese to melt over the top, or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for an even richer flavor. Enjoy your meal!
