Ingredients
  

  • 400 g Rice Cakes 2 cups (approx. 400g) / Rinse in cold water
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 tbsp Yondu Vegetable Umami
  • 1.5 tbsp Sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp Gochujang Korean Chili Paste
  • 2 tbsp Gochugaru Korean Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 cup Green Onion Chopped

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Recipe
  • Step 1: Start the Umami Base & Season the Cakes
    Add 2 cups of water, 2 tbsp of Yondu, and 1.5 tbsp of sugar into a pan, then add the rice cakes and turn on the heat. Adding sugar with the Yondu base allows the sweetness to penetrate the cakes first, creating a deep and balanced flavor.
  • Step 2: Add the Spicy Sauce & Adjust Saltiness
    Once the water begins to boil, add gochujang (1.5 tbsp) and gochugaru (2 tbsp). For the soy sauce, start with 0.5 tbsp first. Since Yondu and Gochujang already provide plenty of savory saltiness, taste the sauce and add up to 1 tbsp only if needed. Stir well to dissolve the paste.
  • Step 3: Simmer to Thicken
    Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Let the sauce reduce until it becomes thick and glossy, perfectly coating each rice cake.
  • Step 4: Finish with Green Onions
    Add the green onions and cook for 1 more minute. The fresh aroma of the onions combined with the savory Yondu base completes the dish.
  • Step 5: The Master's Special Twist
    For a gourmet touch, top with fresh basil leaves for a refreshing herb aroma, or melt Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese on top for a creamy, spicy fusion experience.

Notes

 

🌟 Special Tips: Customize Your Flavor

The Creamy & Cheesy Upgrade
For a milder and more luxurious taste, add 250ml of heavy cream during Step 2 to create a trendy Spicy Rosé Tteokbokki. To double the richness, top it off with Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese. The combination of cream and melted cheese creates a silky, velvety texture that perfectly balances the spicy heat!
