Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by slicing the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces and chopping scallions into 1-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, and sugar together to form a sauce.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tteokbokki

    In a large pan, add water and bring it to a boil. Add the rice cakes and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften.

  4. 4

    Add the Sauce and Fish Cakes

    Once the rice cakes are soft, add the sauce and fish cakes to the pan. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer and Stir-Fry

    Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and the rice cakes absorb the flavors.

  6. 6

    Final Touches

    Add the scallions and sesame oil, and stir for another minute. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
