Ingredients

  • 1 pound of rice cakes
  • 3 tablespoons of gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 cups of water
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced (optional)

Equipment

  • A large skillet or wok
  • A wooden spoon or spatula
  • A pot for boiling the rice cakes

Method

  1. Soak the rice cakes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to soften them.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic to make the sauce.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are translucent.
  4. Add the sauce to the skillet and stir until it becomes fragrant.
  5. Drain the rice cakes and add them to the skillet. Stir until the rice cakes are coated in the sauce.
  6. Add the water to the skillet and bring it to a boil.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium and let the rice cakes simmer in the sauce for around 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more water as needed.
  9. Once the rice cakes are tender and the sauce has thickened, add the sliced green onions and stir.
  10. Serve hot, topped with sliced hard-boiled egg if desired.

Notes

  • If you don't have gochujang, you can substitute it with red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce.
  • You can add other ingredients to the dish, such as fish cakes, boiled eggs, or vegetables.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of gochujang or omit it altogether.
