Cooking tips

  • Adding just a hint of jjajang powder to the seasoning paste is the secret restaurant technique; it gives the finished dish a deep, almost dark reddish-brown color and savory flavor unique to Sindang-dong instant tteokbokki.
  • The true completion of instant tteokbokki comes from breaking the yolk of a hard-boiled egg into the sticky red sauce and mashing it, so be sure to prepare firm hard-boiled eggs.
  • As the cabbage and vegetables at the bottom release a lot of moisture during cooking, do not pour too much water initially; add more as it boils if needed.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to create a special dining-out atmosphere on weekend evenings or when entertaining guests, with the whole family gathered around a tabletop burner.
  • Those who enjoy the fun of simmering and picking out hearty toppings like ramen, mandu, and fish cakes from a shallow sauce in real time.
  • Those who want to master a deep, rich jjajang-gochujang mix-based instant soup tteokbokki at home in the nostalgic Sindang-dong style.
