  • cooking foil, a small amount
  • a handful of tteokbokki rice cakes
  • 5 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 1/2 tablespoon beef dasida
  • a pinch of pepper
  • 2 cheongyang chili peppers
  • a pinch of sesame seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. Fold the cooking foil like origami to create a small bowl shape that fits inside the bottom of a pot.
  2. Cut open 2 green tea bags and place the powder in the foil bowl, then set the bowl on the bottom of the pot.
  3. Place the pork belly on top so that it does not directly touch the bottom or the foil, cover with a lid, and heat over high heat for 5 minutes to smoke with green tea smoke.
  4. Remove the smoked pork belly, cut into bite-sized pieces, and pan-fry in a skillet until the surface is golden brown.
  5. In the pan, add a handful of rice cakes, 5 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 3 tablespoons corn syrup, 2 tablespoons each of gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, 1 tablespoon each of ketchup, oyster sauce, and gochujang, 1/2 tablespoon beef dasida, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a boil to make the sauce.
  6. When the sauce is bubbling, add the cooked pork belly and stir-fry until the sauce thickly coats the meat and rice cakes.
  7. Finally, add sliced cheongyang chili peppers for extra heat and lightly toss.
  8. Before serving, if you have a torch, briefly char the surface to maximize smoky flavor, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  1. Line a pot with foil, add green tea powder, place pork belly on top, close lid, and smoke over high heat for 5 minutes.
  2. Cut meat into bite-sized pieces, pan-fry, then mix sauce ingredients with rice cakes and water, and bring to a boil.
  3. Stir-fry the meat in the sauce until glazed, add cheongyang chili peppers, torch for smoky flavor, and finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Burning green tea bags produces a lot of smoke, so be sure to turn on the exhaust fan while cooking.
  • To prevent the meat from burning, ensure it does not touch the bottom of the pot; suspend it over the foil bowl.
  • Ketchup and oyster sauce in the seasoning provide savory depth; adjust sweetness by varying the amount of corn syrup.
