Tteokbokki
A delicious twist on rice to accompany Korean dishes. Tkeokbokki are long, thin cylinders with a chewy texture. They are made from compressed rice. Eomuk are made from minced white fish mixed with potato flour and a few vegetables. Often in the shape of a thin rectangle. Both are available from Korean suppliers.

Preparation
-
Soak The Rice Cakes:
- Soak the rice cakes for about 20 minutes if hardened or refrigerated. Cut the fish cake, cabbage, and spring onions into 5cm pieces.
-
Preparing The Sauce:
- Add the fish stock or water to a large pan. Stir in the sauce ingredients. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat, stirring to dissolve the red chilli paste (gochujang).
-
Finish The Dish:
- Add the rice cakes. Boil until the rice cakes become very soft and the sauce has thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir frequently so the rice cake doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the vegetables and fish cakes. Continue to boil, stirring constantly, for an addition 4-6 minutes.
- Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Add the sesame oil and optional sesame seeds right before turning off the heat. Serve immediately.
