  • 1 tbsp gochugaru Korean red chili flakes – optional, for extra spice
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fish cake sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese for topping, optional

Method
 

  1. Soak the rice cakes: If you have cold or frozen rice cakes, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to moisten.
  2. Prepare the base sauce: Melt the butter in a pan on medium heat. Saute with onions until softened.

  4. Add the cream: Add in the heavy cream and continue to cook over medium low until the sauce has thickened up a bit, boiling out all starchy taste of rice cakes for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add cheese (optional): If using, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the Tteokbokki, cover with a lid & let it melt.
  6. Season and garnish: Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions.
  7. Serve and enjoy!: And you have a creamy rose Tteokbokki ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • Adjust Spice Level: Reduce gochujang or skip gochugaru for a milder version.
  • Alternative Ingredients: Try adding bell peppers or spinach for more flavour and colour.
