Dduk Bokki, Korean Spicy Rice Cakes Recipe

Course: Appetizer, Side Dish, Snacks
Cuisine: asian, korean
Keyword: dduk, tteok

Ingredients

  • 1 lb package of dduk thawed if frozen
  • ½ lb. any thinly sliced beef the same kind used for bulgogi, and in fact, if you have marinated bulgogi, this is the best
  • any vegetables you want to add like onions carrots, mushrooms, and bell pepper (i use green onions only)
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp gohchoojang Korean red pepper paste - more if you're a pyro
  • ½-1 tsp gohchoo garoo Korean red chili pepper powder
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic super finely minced
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the thawed dduk from the package and soak in cold water on the countertop for at least an hour, but overnight is best. I have no idea what this does to the dduk, but it's what my Mom does.
  • Drain the water and cut the dduk into 2-3" pieces. Drop into boiling water and cook until soft all the way through (like pasta), about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, gohchoojang, gohchoo garoo, sugar, sesame oil and garlic. The "sauce" should have the consistency of ketchup. If it's too thick, add a little bit of water. If it's too thin, too bad.
  • In a large frying pan or wok over medium heat, stir fry the beef and vegetables in a little bit of cooking oil until cooked through. Add the dduk and the sauce and stir fry just until everything is coated and evenly heated.
  • Taste, hit with salt and pepper if needed, transfer to a serving plate. If you're fancy, garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
