Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make ‘Soupy Tteokbokki,’ a beloved dish with a perfectly balanced sweet, spicy, and rich broth! We’ll enhance it even further with Baek Jong-won’s golden recipe.
Step 2
First, let’s gather all the ingredients for our tteokbokki. We need 1 cup of chewy mill tteok, 1 stalk of scallion for a refreshing broth flavor, 2 sheets of soft fish cakes, and 2 hard-boiled eggs if you like. For the seasoning, prepare 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. For the broth base, use 3 cups of either anchovy-kelp broth or rice rinse water.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare a special element of this soupy tteokbokki: the rice paper ‘tteok’! Take 3 sheets of rice paper and dip them in clean water, layering them as you soak. This will help them stick together nicely when you take them out of the water.
Step 4
Carefully layer the 3 moistened rice paper sheets and roll them up tightly, like you would a sushi roll. Rolling them firmly ensures a chewy texture similar to tteok when cooked. Once rolled, cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 to 2 cm thick, to resemble tteok.
Step 5
It’s time to make the delicious broth! Pour 3 cups of the prepared broth into a pot and add the 2 sheets of fish cake, cut into desired pieces. Once the broth begins to boil, add the 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir well to dissolve the seasonings, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Taste the broth at this stage and adjust the seasoning to your preference if needed.
Step 6
Once the fish cakes are tender and the seasonings are well incorporated, add the mill tteok and the chopped scallions. Let everything simmer together. When the broth comes to a rolling boil, carefully add the prepared rice paper ‘tteok’. Be mindful that the rice paper tteok cooks quickly, so don’t overcook them. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes. The broth will thicken, and all the ingredients will harmonize beautifully, creating a finished soupy tteokbokki. Add the hard-boiled eggs at this point if desired.
Step 7
And there you have it – a mouthwatering bowl of delicious soupy tteokbokki! The hot, savory broth, chewy rice cakes, and tender fish cakes create a perfect harmony. Why not treat yourself to this special dish tonight?
