Recipe 🍳
- Place the tteokbokki rice cakes in cold water and soak for about 1 hour until fully rehydrated.
- After 1 hour, drain the rice cakes and put them in a plastic bag. Add a small amount of cooking oil, seal the bag, and shake to coat evenly.
- Put the oiled rice cakes into an air fryer preheated to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 10 minutes.
- While the rice cakes are cooking, make the sauce: In a pan, add water, gochujang, ketchup, sugar, minced garlic, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Once the sauce is bubbling, add the air-fried rice cakes directly into the pan.
- Using a spatula, gently mix the rice cakes with the sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately.
- Soak rice cakes in water for 1 hour, then toss with oil in a plastic bag.
- Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
- Boil sauce with gochujang, ketchup, etc., then toss with the cooked rice cakes.
Cooking tips 💡
- Soak the rice cakes thoroughly in water beforehand to prevent them from becoming hard in the air fryer, achieving a crispy exterior and chewy interior.
- Using a plastic bag to coat the rice cakes with oil ensures even coverage with minimal oil and no mess on your hands.
- This sweet and spicy sauce also works great as a glaze for chicken gangjeong or grilled sausages.
