Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Start by cooking the rice cakes according to the package instructions. Typically, you will need to boil them in water for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly chewy.
2
While the rice cakes are cooking, prepare the sauce by combining the gochujang sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a blender or food processor. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
3
Heat the sauce in a large pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and turns into a sticky and syrupy consistency.
4
Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked rice cakes to the pan and stir them into the sauce until they are well coated.
5
Serve the tteokbokki hot, garnished with green onions, crispy garlic, and toasted sesame seeds. You can also add other toppings such as boiled eggs, fish cakes, or kimchi to make the dish more substantial.
