Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, pick up a pack of ‘Jaws Tteokbokki’ from your nearby GS convenience store. This kit contains the secret to its delicious spicy and sweet flavor.
Step 2
Prepare the glass noodles, which will add a wonderful texture. Soak the dried glass noodles in cold water for about 15 minutes beforehand. This will help them cook to a tender consistency along with the rice cakes.
Step 3
Cut the sheet of fish cake into pieces about 2-3 cm in size, perfect for enjoying in tteokbokki. Cutting them larger will give a more satisfying chew.
Step 4
Rinse the rice cakes from the Jaws Tteokbokki kit under cold water. (Check the product instructions, as some might require rinsing in hot water.) This step helps achieve the perfect chewy texture.
Step 5
Now, get a frying pan ready for stir-frying. Lightly grease the pan with cooking oil and turn the heat to high (strong fire) to preheat the pan.
Step 6
Once the pan is hot, add the large pieces of green onion. Sauté them for about 1 minute until their fragrance is released. This step infuses the tteokbokki with a delightful onion aroma.
Step 7
Add the prepped rice cakes to the pan with the sautéed green onions. Stir-fry them lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Pour in the spicy and sweet sauce included in the Jaws Tteokbokki kit. Don’t skimp on this – it’s the heart of the flavor!
Step 9
Mix the rice cakes and sauce well, then reduce the heat to medium. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the rice cakes evenly and is well absorbed.
Step 10
Add the pre-soaked glass noodles to the tteokbokki pan. Stir everything together so the noodles cook evenly with the rice cakes.
Step 11
Toss in the cut fish cake pieces. As they cook, they will soften and absorb the delicious tteokbokki sauce, making them even tastier.
Step 12
Once all the ingredients are combined, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it bubble away until the rice cakes are soft and the glass noodles and fish cakes are cooked through.
Step 13
When the tteokbokki is bubbling nicely and the glass noodles have become transparent and tender, it’s almost ready. (Note: The original text mentions adding sundae, but this might be a typo or specific to different kits. This recipe focuses on adding noodles and fish cake.)
Step 14
For an extra touch, sprinkle some commercial garlic flakes or dried parsley over the top. This adds visual appeal and enhances the overall flavor profile. (Optional)
Step 15
Once the tteokbokki has thickened to your liking and all the ingredients are perfectly cooked, turn off the heat. Serve generously in a bowl. Your upgraded Jaws Tteokbokki is ready to be enjoyed!
