Main Ingredients
- Beef Brisket 300g
- Tteokbokki Rice Cakes 400g
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 300g of beef brisket. Place the brisket in a preheated pan and sear both sides until some of the fat renders out. This step helps to remove excess grease and ensures a cleaner, more delicate flavor in your tteokbokki.
Step 2
Set the seared brisket aside in the pan. Now, let’s prepare the vegetables for the tteokbokki sauce. Mince 1 tablespoon of garlic. Slice the white parts of 1 green onion stalk diagonally. Slice 1/2 medium onion into thin strips.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the minced garlic, sliced green onion, and onion strips. Stir-fry them together with the beef brisket over medium heat until fragrant and the vegetables begin to soften and turn translucent.
Step 4
Once the onions are tender and translucent, add 3 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). Stir-fry quickly over low heat for about 30 seconds to a minute, being careful not to burn it. This toasts the chili flakes, enhancing their flavor and color.
Step 5
Add 400g of tteokbokki rice cakes to the pan. Now, add the sauce ingredients: 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon plum extract, 1 tablespoon oligosaccharide, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Pour in 3 cups of water. Stir everything together thoroughly with a spatula to combine.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice cakes to cook through and absorb the sauce. Finally, garnish with diagonally sliced green parts of the green onion. Your delicious Beef Brisket Tteokbokki is ready to enjoy!
