Tteokbokki Ingredients
- 300g Tteokbokki rice cakes
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cheongju (rice wine/cooking wine)
- 0.5 Tbsp Corn syrup (or oligosaccharide)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 300g of tteokbokki rice cakes. If your rice cakes are hard, soak them in lukewarm water for about 10-15 minutes until they become soft and pliable. Be careful not to soak them for too long, as they might become too mushy.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious soy sauce seasoning! In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp cheongju (or cooking wine), 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 0.5 Tbsp corn syrup, and 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce. Whisk everything together thoroughly until the sugar and corn syrup are completely dissolved. You can taste the sauce and adjust the amount of soy sauce or sugar according to your preference.
Step 3
Gently drain the softened tteokbokki rice cakes in a colander, letting excess water drip off. Then, add them to the bowl with the prepared soy sauce seasoning. Gently toss the rice cakes with your hands, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the sauce. For the best flavor, let them marinate for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a wide pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is sufficiently warm, add all the sauce-coated rice cakes. Begin to stir-fry them. You don’t need to add any extra oil for this step. It’s important to keep stirring with a spatula to prevent the rice cakes from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
When the rice cakes have absorbed the sauce, appear glossy, and the liquid has slightly thickened and reduced, turn off the heat. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of toasted sesame seeds over the tteokbokki. Your delicious soy sauce tteokbokki is now ready!

Here it is: the perfectly sweet and savory soy sauce tteokbokki, with absolutely no spiciness! Doesn’t it look mouthwatering?
