Soak the rice cakes in warm water for 10 minutes. (If you are using fresh rice cakes that are already tender, feel free to skip this step. However, if you are using packaged rice cakes from the fridge, it is recommended to soak them to enhance their moisture level before proceeding with the recipe.)

Boil the soup stock in a shallow pot over medium high heat and dissolve the tteokbokki sauce by stirring it with a spatula. Once the seasoned stock is boiling, add the rice cakes, fish cakes and onion. Boil them a further 3 to 5 mins until the rice cakes are fully cooked. Then, to thicken the sauce and to deepen the flavor, simmer it over low heat for a further 2 to 4 mins.

About this Recipe
Craving that irresistible chew and spicy kick of authentic Korean street food? This Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) recipe delivers the comforting flavors you love right to your kitchen, making a beloved snack accessible to everyone.
What makes this recipe truly shine is the thoughtful balance of sweet, savory, and spicy elements, all anchored by traditional Korean ingredients. The combination of gochujang (Korean chili paste) and gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) creates a complex heat, while the savory Korean soup stock (made from dried kelp and dried anchovy) builds a deep, umami-rich base that sets this dish apart.
Expect a delightful texture journey, starting with the signature soft yet chewy Korean rice cakes, complemented by tender slices of Korean fish cakes and the subtle crunch of thinly sliced onion. Each bite is coated in a vibrant, glossy sauce that is intensely savory with a satisfying warmth. This Tteokbokki is a hearty snack designed to be deeply satisfying and full of robust Korean flavor.
This recipe is incredibly versatile. You can easily adjust the spice level by adding more or less gochugaru to suit your palate. For added depth, consider incorporating other vegetables commonly found in tteokbokki. If you prefer a milder version, you might slightly reduce the amount of gochujang.
Serve this Tteokbokki hot as a comforting snack, a flavorful appetizer, or a vibrant side dish. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and fresh green onion adds a final touch of aroma and freshness.
