Key Ingredients- 100g Tteokbokki rice cakes (soft type)
- 1 sheet fish cake (eomuk)
- 1/3 stalk green onion
- 1/2 onion
- 80g King oyster mushrooms
Jjajang Sauce Blend- 1.5 liters water
- Generous amount of jjajang powder (about 2-3 Tbsp)
- Brown sugar (to taste)
- 1.5 liters water
- Generous amount of jjajang powder (about 2-3 Tbsp)
- Brown sugar (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly rinse the tteokbokki rice cakes under cold water to remove any sticky residue. If your rice cakes are hard, soaking them in warm water for a few minutes will soften them up nicely.
Step 2
Cut the fish cake into bite-sized pieces (triangles or squares). Peel and slice the onion into thin strips. Chop the green onion into small pieces for adding aroma at the end.
Step 3
Trim the base of the king oyster mushrooms and clean them. Slice them to a size similar to the rice cakes. Having all your ingredients prepped makes the cooking process much smoother.
Step 4
In a wide pot or pan, combine 1.5 liters of water with a generous amount of jjajang powder (around 2-3 tablespoons). It’s important to whisk the powder into the water thoroughly with a whisk or spoon to ensure there are no clumps. Adjust the amount of jjajang powder according to your preference.
Step 5
Add the prepared rice cakes, fish cake, onion, and king oyster mushrooms to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the rice cakes are tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Step 6
Once the rice cakes are cooked through and the sauce has reduced, add brown sugar to sweeten the sauce to your taste. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves and the jjajang sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Finally, add the chopped green onions and simmer for another minute. For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. Enjoy your delicious homemade jjajang tteokbokki!
