- 100ml heavy cream
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 4 oz fish cake (for added protein)
Let's Get Cooking!
- Prep the Tteok:
- If your tteok is refrigerated or frozen, soak it in hot water for 10-15 minutes to soften. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, grated parmesan, heavy cream, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk away until the mixture is silky smooth!
- Tteokbokki Time:
- In a large skillet, heat up your canola oil over medium-high heat.
- Toss in the softened tteok and fry until it's nicely coated in oil and a little crispy.
- Add your fish cake and stir for about 5 minutes.
- Sauce It Up:
- Add gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic to the skillet, ensuring an even coating on your tteok.
- Cook everything for about 2 minutes, then pour in the sauce mixture.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10 minutes or until the tteok is tender when poked.
- Cheese It Up:
- Right before serving, sprinkle in the grated cheese and stir it in. Let the cheese melt!
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- Sprinkle green onions over your spicy, cheesy creation, making it look (and taste!) amazing.
