Ingredients needed 3 servings

Pork back ribs 1kg
Pizza cheese (mozzarella) generously (approx. 200g)
Soy sauce 1/3 cup (54g)
Cooking wine 1/3 cup (60g)
Corn syrup 1/3 cup (70g)
Brown sugar 2 tbsp
Fine gochugaru 3 tbsp
Minced garlic 1 tbsp
Onion 1/2
Green onion 1 stalk
Tteokbokki tteok 1 cup
Black pepper a little
Water appropriate amount

Recipe

Soak the pork back ribs in cold water for at least 1 hour, changing the water once or twice to remove blood.
Boil plenty of water in a pot, add the pork back ribs, and parboil for about 10 minutes to set the internal blood.
Rinse the parboiled pork back ribs thoroughly under cold water, removing blood and impurities attached to the bone surface. Also, clean the pot used.
Chop the onion and green onion roughly for the sauce. Thinly slice some green onion for garnish.
Arrange the washed pork back ribs evenly in the cleaned pot and add enough water to cover the meat.
Add the sugar, corn syrup, and cooking wine from the sauce ingredients first. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes to let the sweetness penetrate.
Add soy sauce, fine gochugaru, minced garlic, the onion and green onion for the sauce. Simmer over high heat for about 30 minutes until the sauce reduces.
Once the sauce has reduced sufficiently, add the tteokbokki tteok and cook for another 5 minutes until the rice cakes are tender.
Transfer the pork back ribs and sauce to a hot pot with a lid. Fill the empty spaces with pizza cheese, then sprinkle with the garnish green onion and black pepper.
Cover with the lid and cook over the lowest heat for 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Parboil the pork back ribs for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly to remove impurities, and prepare the vegetables for the sauce.
In a pot, first boil the pork back ribs with water and sweet seasonings, then add the remaining seasonings and vegetables and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the rice cakes and cook until tender, then transfer to a hot pot with cheese, cover, and melt the cheese over low heat to finish.

Cooking tips

When simmering the meat, adding the sweet seasonings (sugar, corn syrup, cooking wine) before the salty ones ensures the flavor penetrates deep into the meat.
After parboiling, meticulously wash the hardened blood clots from the bone surface under running water to completely eliminate any gamey smell.
Depending on the heat, if the sauce reduces too quickly during simmering, add a little water at a time to maintain the correct consistency.
When melting the cheese, always keep the lid on and maintain the lowest heat to prevent burning the bottom and ensure the cheese melts smoothly.
