Recipe 🍳
- Soak the chewy mill tteok (rice cakes), which are easy to find, in cold water beforehand to soften them.
- Place the store-bought frozen cheese donkatsu in the air fryer and cook until crispy on both sides at 180°C (356°F) for 20 minutes.
- Pour 1 cup of water and 2 cups of milk into a pot.
- Add ginger powder, Dashida, MSG, onion powder, salt, sugar, fine gochugaru, and black pepper according to the measurements.
- Add 1 tablespoon of glutinous rice flour, the secret weapon for achieving a thick and rich rosé sauce, and mix well to prevent lumps.
- Place the sauce with dissolved spice powders on heat and stir until it comes to a boil.
- Once the sauce starts bubbling, add all the pre-soaked mill tteok.
- Stir occasionally over medium heat until the tteok absorbs the spicy rosé sauce and the sauce thickens.
- Generously ladle the finished rosé tteokbokki into a large bowl or plate.
- Cut the well-cooked cheese donkatsu into bite-sized pieces, place them on top of the tteokbokki, and sprinkle with parsley flakes to finish.
- Soak mill tteok in water, and air fry cheese donkatsu at 180°C for 20 minutes.
- Pour water and milk into a pot, mix in spice powders like gochugaru, sugar, and glutinous rice flour.
- Boil the sauce, then add soaked mill tteok and simmer until thick.
- Plate the tteokbokki and top with sliced crispy cheese donkatsu.
Cooking tips 💡
- The glutinous rice flour magically thickens the sauce, which might otherwise be thin without heavy cream, making the sauce cling perfectly to the tteok.
- Dipping the donkatsu into the spicy, flavorful rosé tteokbokki sauce instead of a traditional brown sauce cuts through the richness of the cheese and fried coating, preventing it from becoming too heavy.
