Ingredients
- 500 grams Korean rice cakes (tteok)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 100 milliliters Water
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Soak the Korean rice cakes in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them. Drain before use.
Step 2
Finely mince the garlic cloves and slice the green onions diagonally, separating the white and green parts.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the gochujang, soy sauce, maple syrup, and gochugaru with 100 ml of water to create the sauce.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the drained rice cakes to the pan, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes until they start becoming slightly golden and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
Pour the prepared sauce over the rice cakes and stir well to evenly coat the tteok.
Step 8
Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, and the rice cakes become soft and chewy.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with the sliced green parts of the green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Fried Tteokbokki!
