- 1 onion (medium)
- 1/2 carrot (small)
- 1 green onion

- Sugar, 3 Tbsp
- Salt, 1 tsp
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste), 1.5 Tbsp

- Black pepper, a pinch
- Water, 500ml
- Soy sauce, 1 tsp
- Sugar, 3 Tbsp

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the tteokbokki rice cakes lightly in cold water. This prevents them from sticking together. If the rice cakes are hard, soaking them in warm water for a few minutes will soften them.
Step 2
Prepare about 2 servings (approx. 400g) of store-bought sundae. Remove the casing and cut the sundae into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5-2 cm thick. Be careful not to cut too forcefully to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables for the stir-fry. Slice the onion into strips. Cut the carrot into half-moon shapes or thin slices. Chop the green onion diagonally. Also, cut the square fish cakes into bite-sized pieces, such as triangles or strips.
Step 4
It’s time to make the delicious sauce! In a pot or deep pan, pour 500ml of water. Add 3 Tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1.5 Tbsp of gochujang, and 1 tsp of beef seasoned powder. Whisk well to combine all the seasonings, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 5
Once the seasoned water starts boiling, add the tteokbokki rice cakes first and let them cook. When the rice cakes are tender, add the fish cakes, onion, and green onion. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the ingredients to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Step 6
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Add the prepared carrots, onion, green onion, and sundae. Stir-fry everything together, making sure the ingredients don’t clump. Sprinkle in some black pepper. Cook until the sundae and vegetables are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. This dish is complete! You can add more salt to taste if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
