Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetable companions for our tteokbokki. Cut the square fish cakes into bite-sized pieces. Thinly shred the cabbage and slice the onion. Slice the green onion diagonally; this looks nice and helps distribute the flavor better.
Step 2
The secret to delicious tteokbokki is its sauce! In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well until there are no lumps to create your sauce. Making it ahead of time will make cooking much smoother!
Step 3
Now for the highlight of this recipe: frying the jjolmyeon! Pour enough cooking oil into a pot for deep frying and preheat it to about 170°C (340°F). Carefully add the dried jjolmyeon and fry for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Once fried, transfer the jjolmyeon to paper towels to drain excess oil, ensuring extra crispiness.
Step 4
It’s time to make the tteokbokki broth. Pour 2 cups (400ml) of water into a pot and dissolve the prepared sauce. Bring it to a boil over high heat until it starts bubbling vigorously.
Step 5
Once the sauce is boiling, add the tteokbokki rice cakes, prepared fish cakes, shredded cabbage, and onions. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the rice cakes are soft and the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice cakes from sticking to the bottom.
Step 6
Finally, add the diagonally sliced green onions and simmer for another moment. The fresh aroma of the green onions will enhance the overall flavor of the tteokbokki. Transfer the finished tteokbokki to a serving bowl, making it look appetizing.
Step 7
Now, artfully arrange the crispy fried jjolmyeon on top of the tteokbokki. Your unique Jjolmyeon Fried Tteokbokki, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, is complete! If you like, adding a hard-boiled egg on the side is also a delicious option. Enjoy the fantastic combination of sweet and spicy tteokbokki and crispy jjolmyeon!
