Ingredients
- 1 pound Korean cylinder rice cakes (garae-tteok)
- 2 cups Anchovy broth or water
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
- 2 sheets Korean fish cakes (eomuk), sliced
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Soak the rice cakes in warm water for 10 minutes to soften if they are refrigerated or frozen.
- 2
In a large skillet, combine the broth, gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic over medium-high heat.
- 3
Stir the sauce mixture constantly until the paste is fully dissolved and the liquid begins to boil.
- 4
Add the drained rice cakes and sliced fish cakes to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce.
- 5
Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice cakes from sticking to the bottom.
- 6
Once the sauce has thickened and the rice cakes are soft and chewy, stir in half of the green onions.
- 7
Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top of the mixture and cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
- 8
Garnish with the remaining green onions and sesame seeds before serving directly from the skillet.
