Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello! Today, we’re going to make melt-in-your-mouth, homemade tteokgalbi with a perfect sweet and savory balance. It’s wonderful as a side dish for kids or as a special addition to your holiday table. Experience the charm of tteokgalbi, which is slightly crispy on the outside and wonderfully moist on the inside, and easy to make at home!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the onion. It’s best to finely mince the onion. Place the minced onion in a bowl with the ground beef and mix gently with your hands until well combined. Briefly draining excess moisture from the beef can result in a cleaner flavor.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to create the delicious seasoning that will define the flavor of your tteokgalbi. In a wide bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. The flour acts as a binder, helping the patties hold their shape.
Step 4
Add the prepared seasoning ingredients to the meat mixture. Knead the mixture thoroughly with your hands, as if you’re working dough. This ensures the meat clumps together well and the seasoning is evenly distributed, resulting in a more flavorful tteokgalbi. Adding a little flour helps improve the stickiness of the mixture, making it easier to shape and preventing the patties from falling apart during cooking.
Step 5
Once the mixture is ready, it’s time to shape it into portions. Take a portion of the mixture and flatten it into a round patty with your palms. You can adjust the thickness to your preference, and making them into mini sizes can be cute for children!
Step 6
Lightly grease a pan with cooking oil and preheat over low heat. Place the shaped tteokgalbi patties in the pan and cook slowly over low heat to prevent burning. Once one side is golden brown, flip and cook the other side until it also achieves a nice color. Covering the pan while cooking will help ensure the inside is cooked through and remains moist.
Step 7
Your delicious homemade tteokgalbi, browned to perfection on both sides, is now ready! It’s incredibly tasty served with warm rice or alongside fresh leafy greens. Enjoy a wonderful meal with tteokgalbi that the whole family can savor!
