great day and make some delicious tteokbokki together let’s Dive in. first thing first cook eggs in the egg cooker
you’ll need 3 eggs for this recipe so the rest will be my snack these eggs will continue
to cook in the sauce later for the sauce I sieve my gochukaru which is chili powder to
make it fine this is purely for aesthetic purposes so if you go ahead with whatever
gochukaru you have the taste will be equally good the tteokbokki sauce combine Korean red
pepper powder sugar soy sauce [Music] Korean chili paste gochujang
oyster sauce and water you can double the recipe and save half for later the sauce gets
better as it ages [Music] [Applause] these thin Korean fish
cake is a staple ingredient in Korean households and they are cut into triangles if you’re
not a fan you can omit them all together and replace them with Frank sausages mushrooms
like shiitake or more eggs [Music] for the star of the dish we have rice cakes
that have been refrigerated and are a little bit firm if you’re using Frozen ones it is
a good idea to soak them in water for half an hour large green onions are chopped to
be about the same length as the rice cakes it may look like quite a lot but in this recipe
be generous sweet spring onions as they make the dish more flavorful in a pan on medium
heat add neutral oil followed by chopped green onions unlike other recipes my recipe calls
for sautéing green onions first to maximize the fragrance of these peppery but sweet green
onions when the green onions are wilted reduce the heat to low carefully add water and then
add in the fish cakes let the fish cake simmer as they provide an Umami base to the tteokbokki
sauce here I add half teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt now it’s the rice cake’s turn
dunk the rice cakes in the water if you find the rice cake sticking together be sure to
unstick them and add one at a time [Music] position your rice cakes so they are submerged
in the water finally stir in the sauce [Applause] [Music]
[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] gently throw in the cooked eggs cook
for 5 to 10 more minutes until the rice cakes are tender and the sauce is thickened stir
frequently to ensure the rice cakes do not stick to the bottom of the pan to reduce the
spiciness a little bit you can add the mozzarella cheese and or sesame oil don’t forget the ground black pepper tteokbokki
is finally ready to be enjoyed add a Sprinkle of black sesame seeds and finely chopped green
onion for garnish [Music]tteokbokki is a truly elevating dish
the chewy yet springy rice cakes coated in the beautifully spicy and well balanced sauce
