Cut the square Korean fish cake (eomuk), large green onion, and perilla leaves into bite-sized pieces.In a shallow pot or pan, layer the rice cakes, soybean sprouts, Korean fish cake (eomuk), and large green onion.Add 2 heaping tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp gochugaru, 5 tbsp oligosaccharide syrup (oligodang), 1 tbsp beef dashida, and a pinch of pure ground black pepper. Pour in 3 cups of water.Turn the heat to high and stir well to dissolve the gochujang seasoning in the water. Wait until the broth comes to a vigorous boil.Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes until the liquid reduces and the refreshing flavor of the soybean sprouts and the seasoning soak into the rice cakes.Finally, add the sliced perilla leaves, toss gently, then turn off the heat to finish.Put the rice cakes, soybean sprouts, Korean fish cake (eomuk), large green onion, seasoning ingredients, and water into a pot all at once.Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the seasoning.Reduce to medium-low heat, simmer for 10 minutes, then top with perilla leaves to finish.Cooking tips ๐กBecause the soybean sprouts release a refreshing broth, simmer gently over medium-low heat so the seasoning melds properly without separating.Using wheat rice cakes helps the seasoning absorb better, and adding the perilla leaves at the end preserves their fragrance.If you prefer a thicker sauce, extend the simmering time by 3โ5 minutes.Recommended for ๐โญThose who want to enjoy a unique tteokbokki packed with crisp soybean sprouts, different from regular tteokbokki.โญThose who love the deep, rich seasoned broth of old-school pojangmacha-style tteokbokki.
