Ingredients

• 500 grams gluten-free rice cakes
• 500 ml water
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 units green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 100 grams fish cake, sliced (optional)
• 2 units hard-boiled eggs, peeled (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the gluten-free rice cakes in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften them, then drain.

Step 2

In a large pan, bring 500 ml of water to a boil.

Step 3

Add the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic to the boiling water. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the drained rice cakes to the sauce. If using fish cake and hard-boiled eggs, add them at this point.

Step 5

Let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the rice cakes become tender and chewy.

Step 6

Add the chopped green onions in the last 5 minutes of cooking and stir to incorporate.

Step 7

Drizzle the sesame oil over the finished tteokbokki and give it a final stir.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving hot.
