Baek Jong-won's Cream Tteokbokki

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Even without making a separate roux, the salt and protein from the cheddar cheese naturally thicken and season the sauce when combined with milk.
• If your bacon, like some international varieties, has a high fat content, you can omit the cooking oil and sauté the vegetables using only the fat rendered from the bacon.
• Adding too much cheddar cheese can make the dish overly salty or pasty, so start with 2 slices and add a tiny pinch of salt only if needed to adjust the seasoning.
• Grinding fresh black pepper or adding more parsley flakes at the end can give it a more sophisticated, appetizer-like finish.
