🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the taste of Chinese restaurant-style jajang tteokbokki with minimal time and cost
  • Those looking to transform expired or nearing-expiration instant reheat jajang products into a unique and special snack dish

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • tteokbokki rice cakes 150g
  • fish cake 2 pieces
  • Vienna sausage as needed
  • vegetable oil 2~3 tablespoons
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • water 1 cup
  • 3-minute jajang sauce 1 packet
  • tonkatsu sauce 2 tablespoons
  • green chili pepper 1 piece

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut fish cake into bite-sized triangular pieces, and if you're feeling lazy, just make a few shallow cuts on the Vienna sausage.
  2. Heat 2~3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan, then add the prepared rice cakes, fish cake, Vienna sausage, and 1 large spoonful of minced garlic all at once.
  3. Stir-fry together until the garlic aroma fully infuses the oil and the outer surfaces of the ingredients turn slightly golden.
  4. Once the ingredients are coated with oil, pour in 1 cup of water and wait until the broth begins to bubble vigorously.
  5. When the water boils, add the entire packet of 3-minute jajang sauce and mix in 2 tablespoons of tonkatsu sauce to enhance the savory depth.
  6. Continue stirring and simmering until the sauce deeply penetrates the ingredients and thickens into a sticky consistency.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with finely chopped green chili pepper as garnish.
  1. Heat oil in a pan, then sauté rice cakes, fish cake, sausage, and minced garlic until golden. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the full packet of 3-minute jajang sauce and 2 tablespoons of tonkatsu sauce, then simmer until the sauce thickens evenly.
  3. Garnish with chopped green chili pepper for a final touch of spicy Chinese flair.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you don’t have tonkatsu sauce at home, you can substitute it with 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce for a similar savory depth.
  • The fresh crunch and sharpness of the chopped green chili pepper effectively cut through the greasy, slightly sticky texture typical of instant jajang sauce.
