Baek Jong-won's Gireum Tteokbokki

Cooking tips 💡

• If using firm tteok directly, it takes time for the inside to cook. You must patiently pan-fry over very low heat. If you're short on time, briefly blanch the tteok in boiling water to soften it before seasoning; this will significantly speed up cooking.
• Since the seasoning contains red pepper powder and soy sauce, the tteok can easily burn before it cooks if the heat is too high. Maintaining low heat from start to finish is crucial.
• Stir-frying gently while pressing it against the pan until it's just about to burn will make the scallions crispy and maximize the unique flavor of gireum tteokbokki.
• For households with children who can't eat spicy food, omit the red pepper powder entirely and slightly increase the amounts of soy sauce and sugar for a delicious soy sauce-based gireum tteokbokki.
