Tteokbokki is one of Korea’s most famous street foods. It’s a delicious mix of chewy rice cakes simmered in a sweet, savory and spicy sauce. It’s also a great way to use up leftover cooked rice.
Tteokbokki has become very popular in the US and is even available in some grocery stores like Trader Joe’s. The bouncy texture of the rice cakes is very fun to eat and they soak up all the flavors from the sauce like a sponge. This recipe is simple to make and you can even adjust the amount of heat as desired.
You can find the ingredients in your local Asian food market or any other store that carries Korean products. The tteokbokki noodles are normally sold in a frozen section and you can find them at most Korean stores as well. If you can’t find them, you can always use Japanese or Chinese fish cakes instead.
Originally, tteokbokki only had vegetables and beef but nowadays you can see it with seafood, pork, and even mushrooms in the sauce. The spices used can range from very mild to really spicy. Depending on the ingredients, it can also have a sweet or sour flavor.
One of the most common versions is called gungmul tteokbokki (; gugmul ddeogbogi; “soup tteokbokki”) which has the classic red gochujang as its main ingredient. Other ingredients such as eomuk (fish cakes), boiled eggs, and diagonally sliced scallions are added for flavor. Alternatively, ra-bokki (raboggi; “instant noodle tteokbokki”) and jjol-bokki (jjolbogi; “chewy noodle tteokbokki”) are variants that add noodles to the tteokbokki.돈까스창업
In the past, tteokbokki was served only at palace kitchens and therefore it was also known as jungja tteokbokki (; byeongja tteokbokki). There is a record of this dish in a cook book from the late 1800s but it might have been around much earlier since there were already tteokbokki with gochujang made in the royal kitchens during the Joseon Dynasty.
The most traditional version of tteokbokki is served in small bowls with lots of broth and the tteokbokki are cut into smaller pieces so that they can be easily eaten. In recent years, restaurants have been experimenting with different variations and fusions of tteokbokki with various other ingredients and techniques.
