Spicy tteokbokki

Korean 15 Mins Prep ยท 25 Mins Cook


  1. Separate the greens of the spring onions from the whites and set aside for later. Chop the whites into 3cm pieces.
  2. Soak the rice cakes in 250ml warm water for 5 minutes then strain. In a medium-sized pot, combine 300ml water and the kombu and bring up to a boil before discarding the kombu. Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients and whisk together. Bring to a boil before adding the rice cakes and spring onions. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for approx. 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to a glossy, thick glaze around the rice cakes.
  3. Finely chop the spring onion greens.
  4. Serve the tteokbokki topped with spring onion and sesame seeds.
