A nostalgic pan-tteokbokki recipe simmered down with just three ingredients—starch syrup, beef dashida, and gochugaru—without gochujang.

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use starch syrup instead of oligosaccharide syrup to achieve the characteristic deep red color and sticky, glossy sauce.
  • Omitting gochujang keeps the sauce clean and sweet, delivering the classic old-style tteokbokki flavor without any heaviness.
  • A long simmer over high heat ensures the thick sauce clings tightly to the surface of the rice cakes.

Recommended for

  • Those who miss the taste of school street-stall tteokbokki from their school days.
  • Those who want to make savory tteokbokki with simple ingredients and no complicated seasoning blends.
