Tteokbokki Ingredients- 150g Tteokbokki rice cakes (soaked in water)
- 1/2 onion (sliced)
- 1 Tbsp butter
- A little green onion (chopped)
- 2 eggs
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 slice cheddar cheese (optional)
- A little sesame seeds
Sauce Ingredients- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/3 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/3 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the ‘magic sauce’ that will make your Tteokbokki incredibly delicious. In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1/3 Tbsp sugar. Mix well until fully combined. You can adjust the sugar amount based on your preference for sweetness. Once the sauce is ready, add 150g of Tteokbokki rice cakes and mix them well to ensure the sauce coats every piece. Let them marinate for a bit.
Step 2
Melt 1 Tbsp of butter in a heated pan. The butter will melt and release a rich aroma, enhancing the overall flavor of your Tteokbokki.
Step 3
Add the sliced half onion and the chopped green onion to the pan. Sauté them until the onions become translucent and slightly softened from the butter. This process will bring out the natural sweetness of the onions and add depth to the dish.
Step 4
Once the onions and green onions are sautéed, add the marinated Tteokbokki rice cakes to the pan. Stir everything together and continue to cook, mixing occasionally to prevent the rice cakes from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
When the rice cakes start to soften, evenly pour the 2 beaten eggs over the Tteokbokki. Make sure to whisk the eggs well before pouring so that the yolk and white are blended. Spread the egg mixture evenly over the surface.
Step 6
Initially, the Tteokbokki might seem a bit wet due to the added eggs. However, continue to cook until the eggs are fully set and become fluffy. This will transform the texture, making the Tteokbokki wonderfully fluffy and tender. Avoid stirring too vigorously while the eggs are cooking to prevent them from breaking apart.
Step 7
Finally, place 1 slice of cheddar cheese (if using) on top of the hot Tteokbokki. The melting cheese adds a fantastic visual appeal and a rich, creamy flavor. Sprinkle a little sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma. Enjoy your delicious, restaurant-quality Cheesy Egg Tteokbokki!
