A rice tteokbokki that perfectly recreates the nostalgic taste of school-front snack shops from childhood, featuring rich umami from dried anchovy stock and a hint of traditional seasoning.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Briefly microwaving the dried anchovies before use helps evaporate moisture, preventing fishy odors in the broth and resulting in a cleaner taste.
  • Adding fish cake too early causes it to over-expand and lose texture, so include it in the last half of cooking along with vegetables.
  • Rice tteok tends to break apart more easily than glutinous rice tteok and takes longer to absorb flavor, so adjust the heat and simmer gently to achieve optimal texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who miss the thick, spicy-sweet taste of old-school schoolfront snack shop tteokbokki.
  • People searching for a fail-proof golden recipe for deep, savory tteokbokki with lasting umami.
