Main Ingredients- 2 small button mushrooms
- 1/2 onion
- 3 pieces frozen beet (approx. kimchi dice size)
- Tteok (rice cakes, as desired, e.g., tteokbokki tteok or tteokguk tteok)
- 200ml milk
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch salt
- A dash of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, soak the rice cakes in cold water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Slice the button mushrooms and onion into bite-sized pieces. In a pot or deep pan for the soup, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté over medium heat until they absorb the butter and become tender. This step helps to develop the mushroom’s flavor.
Step 3
When the mushrooms release a delicious aroma and are tender, add the sliced onion and continue to sauté together. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 4
As the onion turns translucent, add a pinch of salt for seasoning, then pour in 200ml of milk. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Step 5
Once the milk starts to boil, add the prepared rice cakes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking together, and cook until the rice cakes are soft and chewy.
Step 6
When the rice cakes are almost cooked through, set aside about 3-4 pieces to use as a garnish on top of the soup later. This makes the dish look even more appealing.
Step 7
Now, add the 3 pieces of frozen beet and 2 slices of cheddar cheese to the soup. Stir gently as the beet and cheese melt, creating a beautiful pink hue. Continue stirring until you achieve your desired lovely pink color.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle a dash of black pepper for extra flavor. Arrange the reserved rice cakes attractively on top of the soup for garnish. Your delicious and visually stunning Pink Creamy Mushroom Tteok Pasta is now ready to be enjoyed!
