water 1 cup and a half (300ml)

fish cake 2 pieces (optional)

green onion 1 stalk (optional)

Recipe

Soak ddekoguktteok 250g in cold water for about 30 minutes until soft.
Cut the prepared fish cake and green onion into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a pan and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add 2 tablespoons of gochujang and stir over medium heat until well blended and not burnt.
Once the gochujang has absorbed all the oil, pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the center of the pan and bring to a boil to remove any raw smell. Mix thoroughly with the gochujang.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and stir well. Increase heat to high and bring the gochujang sauce to a boil.
When the sauce begins to bubble, add 1 cup and a half (300ml) of water along with the prepared fish cake and green onion.
Once the broth starts boiling again, add the soaked ddekoguktteok and continue cooking over high heat until the sauce thickens and coats the rice cakes.

Soak ddekoguktteok in cold water and cut fish cake and green onion into bite-sized pieces.
Add vegetable oil to a pan, then add gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar in order, stirring over medium heat to build the base flavor.
Pour in water, bring to a boil, then add the prepared side ingredients and soaked rice cakes. Cook over high heat until the sauce thickens.

Cooking tips

Sauté the gochujang in oil thoroughly to eliminate its raw aroma and bring out a deeper, richer flavor.
When adding soy sauce, boil it vigorously in the center of the pan to maximize flavor and remove any off-notes.
If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar to 1 and a half tablespoons according to your taste.
