  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the rice cakes in cold water for about 10 minutes to soften them if they are refrigerated or frozen.

    In a large shallow pan or wok, combine the stock, gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic.

  3. 3

    Bring the sauce mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the paste is fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Drain the rice cakes and add them to the boiling sauce, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Add the sliced fish cakes and continue to simmer for 5 to 8 minutes until the rice cakes are soft and the sauce has thickened.

  6. 6

    Stir in the scallions and halved hard-boiled eggs, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Taste the sauce and add more sugar or chili flakes if you prefer it sweeter or spicier.

    Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving hot.
