Easy & Delicious So Tteok So Tteok Recipe Loved by Kids and Adults Alike
Enjoy the popular rest stop snack, So Tteok So Tteok, at home! This recipe makes it simple and incredibly tasty, bringing the perfect chewy rice cake and juicy sausage combination right to your kitchen.
Main Ingredients- Assorted flavorful sausages
- Chewy rice cakes (tteokbokki tteok or skewered rice cakes)
- Skewers (specialty skewers from Daiso or standard wooden skewers)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the sausages and rice cakes in the quantity you desire. While any sausage will be delicious, choosing one with a rich flavor will elevate your So Tteok So Tteok experience. (The amount in the photo is a suggestion; feel free to make more!)
Step 2
Score the sausages diagonally with a knife. This not only makes them visually appealing when cooked but also helps them absorb sauces better. To achieve a perfectly chewy texture, blanch the rice cakes in boiling water for about 30 seconds. If using frozen rice cakes, place them directly into the water as it comes to a boil and then remove. No need to rinse them.
Step 3
Check if the blanched rice cakes are tender enough by pressing them gently with chopsticks; they should feel slightly soft. Thread the rice cakes onto the skewers, one by one. If you don’t have specialized skewers, regular wooden skewers work perfectly fine. (You can find them affordably at places like Daiso!)
Step 4
To ensure a balanced bite of both sausage and rice cake, skewer two pieces of each alternately onto each stick. This way, every mouthful offers the delightful combination of chewy rice cake and savory sausage.
Step 5
Now it’s time to cook the So Tteok So Tteok. Lightly oil a pan and place the skewers on it. Cook, flipping them occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and appetizing. Since the rice cakes are blanched and the sausages are pre-cooked, you’re just looking for that perfect crisp exterior. Easy, right?
Step 6
For an extra special touch, sprinkle the golden-brown So Tteok So Tteok with ketchup and a magical cheese powder, especially loved by kids. Mustard sauce is also a great accompaniment if you prefer. For those who don’t like spice, ketchup alone is wonderfully delicious! The inherent flavor of the delicious sausages means that almost any sauce choice will result in an incredibly tasty snack!
