A simple and addictive fish cake stew with a deep, savory flavor similar to street-style tteokbokki, made by reducing canned sikhye instead of sugar
Ingredients needed 2 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Use original canned sikhye with proper maltose content—do not use zero-sugar versions, as they lack the distinctive umami and deep sweetness.
- Chopping green onion into large pieces enhances the fresh aroma, which infuses into the sauce and greatly improves flavor.
- Stir constantly over high heat to prevent burning and ensure the sauce coats the fish cake surface evenly with a glossy finish.
Recommended for
- Those tired of regular fish cake stir-fry or stew and looking for a refreshing twist.
- People who prefer a subtle, deep flavor over artificial sweetness from sugar.
- Those craving late-night tteokbokki but don’t have rice cakes on hand and want a quick substitute snack.
