Ingredients- Tomato sauce 6 Tbsp
- 1 Tomato
- 5 Small abalones
- 200g Tteokbokki rice cakes
- 100ml Water
- 1/2 Onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the abalone: Gently separate the abalone meat from the shell using a spoon. Clean the abalone thoroughly with a toothbrush to remove any sand or grit. Trim away the sharp mouth parts and the hard innards with scissors. Marinate the cleaned abalone meat with 1 Tbsp of mirin (or cooking sake) to reduce any fishy odor and enhance flavor.
Step 2
2. Prepare the rice cakes: Tteokbokki rice cakes can sometimes be stiff. Soak them in cool water for about 5 minutes until they become soft and pliable. This step ensures the tteok don’t clump together during cooking and absorb the sauce evenly.
Step 3
3. Mix ingredients and sauce: In a bowl, combine 6 Tbsp of tomato sauce, 1 chopped tomato, the soaked tteokbokki rice cakes, the marinated abalone, and 1/2 sliced onion. Add 100ml of water and mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Ensuring an even coating is key for great flavor.
Step 4
4. Air fry: Arrange the coated ingredients attractively in an air fryer-safe dish. Place the dish into the preheated air fryer. Cook at 185°C (365°F) for 17 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model and the amount of ingredients, so it’s a good idea to check halfway through to ensure the tteok and abalone are cooked to your liking.
Step 5
5. Serve and tips: Once cooked, your delicious Tomato and Abalone Tteokbokki is ready to be enjoyed! For an extra touch, consider adding cheese or a sprinkle of parsley flakes before serving.
