1 servings

Tteok (thin tteokguk tteok recommended for easy cooking) 1-2 servings
Pre-cooked shrimp (or cocktail shrimp) as needed
Water 1 cup
Flavored salt (or chicken stock) a pinch
Sesame oil a dash
Chili oil (optional for adults) a dash

Recipe

Spread the thinly sliced tteokguk tteok evenly on the bottom of a pot or small pan, then add 1 cup of water to barely cover.
Add an appropriate amount of pre-cooked shrimp, cut into child-friendly sizes, to add a refreshing flavor to the broth.
Close the lid tightly and simmer until the tteok and shrimp are fully cooked and plump, then let it steam.
When the tteok is white and tender, open the lid and add a very small amount of flavored salt or chicken stock to season lightly.
As the final step, turn off the heat completely, drizzle a little sesame oil for a nutty aroma, and plate.
If adults or family members want a spicy version, drizzle a little chili oil over the finished white tteokbokki to transform it into a spicy tteok bokkeum.

Put tteokguk tteok, shrimp, and 1 cup of water in a pan, cover, and boil until fully cooked.
When the tteok is moist and cooked, open the lid and gently season with flavored salt or chicken stock.
Turn off the heat, drizzle sesame oil for a nutty fragrance, and serve clear.

Cooking tips

Use thinly sliced tteokguk tteok instead of thick tteokbokki tteok so the seasoning penetrates quickly and it's safe for children to chew and swallow.
Since no soy sauce or gochujang is used, use flavored salt or commercial chicken stock powder that contains umami for a flavorful taste.
You can also adapt this by cooking off all the water to make a sticky, savory tteok bokkeum, which children also enjoy very much.

Recommended for

Parents looking for a quick snack for young children who cannot eat spicy gochujang-seasoned food.
Anyone who wants to finish a super-fast meal in under 10 minutes with minimal ingredients at home.
Those craving a tteok dish that is non-spicy, clean, refreshing, and bursting with savory nuttiness.
