The Ultimate Soupy Tteokbokki Recipe You Can Make at Home
Enjoy this irresistible soupy tteokbokki, a dish with a rich, flavorful broth that’s perfect any time! The sweet and spicy sauce deeply infuses the rice cakes and fish cakes, creating an unforgettable taste.
Main Ingredients- 300g of rice cakes (tteokbokki tteok, preferably made from wheat flour; can substitute with rice flour tteok if preferred)
- 110g of fish cakes (eomuk, about 1-2 sheets)
- 1 pack of pre-made tteokbokki sauce (typically enough for 2 servings)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Separate the rice cakes if they are clumped together and rinse them briefly under water. Cut the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). To enhance their texture and remove any impurities, give the fish cakes a quick blanch in boiling water for about 30 seconds.
Step 2
In a wide, deep pot, combine 300ml of water (or follow the water amount specified on the pre-made sauce packet) with the entire packet of tteokbokki sauce. Stir well to dissolve the sauce. Add the rice cakes and bring to a boil over high heat. Using a pre-made sauce makes it easy to achieve a deep flavor profile, ensuring success even for beginners.
Step 3
Once the broth begins to boil, the rice cakes will start to soften. At this point, add the prepared fish cakes. Gently stir to prevent the rice cakes and fish cakes from sticking together, and continue to simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes, allowing the sauce to evenly coat the ingredients. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water.
Step 4
Your delicious soupy tteokbokki is now ready! The rice cakes will be chewy, the fish cakes tender, and the savory broth will be brimming with sweet and spicy flavor, perfect for scooping up with a spoon. Using a pre-made sauce truly makes it a breeze to whip up this delightful snack or meal in no time. Enjoy your meal!
