ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS

 

RICE CAKES (TTEOK):

Tteok, gluten-free rice cakes, as a min ingredient for Korean tteokbokki recipe.

For the best spicy Korean rice cake experience, opt for short, finger-sized rice cakes crafted from 100% rice flour to ensure the best flavor and chewiness.

 

You may also find flat and round rice cakes at the stores, but these are better suited for Korean rice cake soup or stir-fries rather than dishes that require chewy tteok.

 

 

TTEOKBOKKI SAUCE:

Ingredients for making tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes)

The sauce’s heart comprises Korean red pepper paste (gochujang), Korean chili flakes (gochugaru), soy sauce, and corn syrup. The sauce gains depth from anchovy stock, imparting an umami touch.

 

For the characteristic gloss and subtle sweetness, Korean Corn Syrup is the secret ingredient, but if unavailable, a tablespoon of sugar works wonders.

 

OTHER ADDITIONS

Fish cake (eomuk): optional but recommended

Asian leek (daepa): You can replace it with green onion

Some like to add cabbage, onion, and garlic, but I like to keep it simple for the rice cake to stand out.

RECIPE SUCCESS TIPS

Anchor the dish’s umami depth with Anchovy stock, and consider adding dried sea kelp.

 

 

For a richer texture, opt for fine gochugaru (Korean fine chili powder). If you only have coarse gochugaru, grind it until finely blended. Storing extra in the fridge extends its shelf life up to a year.

How to make find chili powder: If you only have the coarse gochugaru, process it in a blender until very smooth and finely blended. You can skip this step if you want to, but you will see speckles of chili flakes on the rice cakes.

 

Korean chili flakes are processed in a blender to turn into fine chili powder.

Note: I blended 1/2 cup of chili flakes although I only need 1 tablespoon for this recipe. I want to keep the rest in the fridge to use later when I make tteokbokki again, and to spice up other dishes as well. Store the chili flakes in a glass jar and they will last for over a year if you keep them in the refrigerator.
