떡볶이

Tteokbokki (떡볶이)

Chewy rice cakes in a gochujang sauce — street-night classic.

Heat: hot · Vegetarian: yes (skip fish cake)

Soak the cakes

Fridge-hard 가래떡 needs a 10-minute soak. Sauce: gochujang, a pinch of gochugaru, a little sugar, stock or water. Simmer until the sauce clings. Fish cake 어묵 is traditional; mushrooms if you skip it.
