Feeling peckish? I whipped up this super easy tteokkochi recipe without needing any skewers! It’s perfect for a quick, satisfying snack when hunger strikes.
Main Ingredients- 40 pieces of Tteokbokki rice cakes (or your desired amount)
Sweet and Spicy Tteokkochi Sauce- 1.5 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 6 Tbsp Honey (or Corn Syrup/Oligosaccharide)
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 10 Tbsp Water
- 1.5 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 6 Tbsp Honey (or Corn Syrup/Oligosaccharide)
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 10 Tbsp Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the rice cakes. If you’re using tteokbokki rice cakes, gently soak them in cold water for about 5 minutes to prevent them from sticking together. If your rice cakes are hard, you can blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes to soften them up before proceeding.
Step 2
Now, let’s make that delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1.5 Tbsp gochujang, 6 Tbsp honey (or corn syrup/oligosaccharide), 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp minced garlic, and 10 Tbsp water. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps. You’ve now created the perfect sauce base!
Step 3
It’s time to stir-fry the rice cakes with the sauce! Pour the prepared sauce into a heated frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the sauce begins to bubble, add the drained rice cakes. Gently stir with a spatula to ensure the sauce coats every piece of rice cake evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the rice cakes with a glossy sheen. Be careful not to let the sauce burn by keeping the heat too high.
Step 4
Voilà! Your delicious tteokkochi is ready! Serve it warm on a plate and enjoy immediately. The exterior will be slightly chewy, the inside soft, and the sweet and spicy sauce will cling perfectly to each piece, making it incredibly tasty. It’s a simple yet wonderfully satisfying snack!
