Instructions
Making Korean Tteokbokki is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Soak Rice Cakes: If using dried rice cakes, soak them in warm water for about 10-20 minutes to soften.
2. Prepare Sauce: In a saucepan, combine water or broth, gochujang, sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well.
3. Heat Sauce: Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Add Rice Cakes: Once the sauce is bubbling, add the soaked rice cakes and stir to coat them in the sauce.
5. Incorporate Fish Cakes: Add the sliced fish cakes to the pan and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped cabbage and green onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
