Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • tteokbokki rice cakes 300g
  • vegetable oil generously
  • potato starch 2 tablespoons
  • water 0.5 cup (for starch mixture) + 4 tablespoons (for sauce)
  • green onion (white part) 0.5 stalk
  • gochujang 1 tablespoon
  • japanese soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • ketchup 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 4 tablespoons
  • minced garlic 0.5 tablespoon
  • sesame seeds a pinch
  • cheongyang chili pepper 1 piece

Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat vegetable oil generously in a pan, then evenly spread 300g of tteokbokki rice cakes. Cook over medium-low heat until soft and evenly browned.
  2. Mix 2 tablespoons of potato starch with half a cup of water in a bowl to make a starch slurry. Pour the slurry evenly over the rice cakes in the pan.
  3. Sprinkle finely chopped white parts of green onion over the top. Let it sit undisturbed until the moisture evaporates and the bottom forms a firm, golden-brown slab.
  4. When shaking the pan causes the rice cakes to move as a single unit like a pancake, flip it quickly using a wrist snap or by covering the pan with a large bowl. Continue cooking the other side until crispy. Transfer to a plate.
  5. Wipe off excess oil from the pan with a kitchen towel. Add sauce ingredients (4 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon gochujang, 1 tablespoon japanese soy sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 4 tablespoons sugar, 0.5 tablespoon minced garlic) and simmer until thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked rice cake slab, spreading it evenly with a spoon or brush.
  7. Finally, sprinkle sesame seeds evenly and garnish with finely chopped cheongyang chili pepper.
  1. In an oiled pan, grill rice cakes, then pour potato starch slurry and chopped green onion to bind them into a single slab, grilling both sides until golden and crispy.
  2. Remove the rice cake slab, then reduce the sauce ingredients (water, gochujang, japanese soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, minced garlic) in the same pan until thick.
  3. Spread the thick sauce generously over the crispy rice cake slab, then top with sesame seeds and chopped cheongyang chili pepper for finishing.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Even if the outer layer of the starch coating turns slightly dark or charred, it can be masked by the sauce—don’t panic; cook until fully crispy for best results.
  • Sprinkling finely chopped cheongyang chili pepper at the end adds a sharp, spicy kick that balances the sweetness of the sauce, transforming it into a refined adult flavor.
