How to create

Making Sindjeon Tteokbokki

• Rinse the refrigerated wheat balls once and soak them in cold water.

• Meanwhile, make the marinade: In a bowl, combine 2 T fine chili powder, 1 T hot curry powder, 2 T sugar, and 1/2 T beef dashi,
  Add 1 T dark soy sauce and 1/2 t flavor salt and mix well.

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 400 ml of water and the reserved marinade.

• When the water starts to boil, add the soaked wheat cakes and boil for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pre-soak 1 t glutinous rice flour in 3 T cold water.

• After 5 minutes, turn the heat to low and add the glutinous rice flour water and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes.

• Remove from heat, add a generous pinch of pepper, stir, and you're done.

Extra Cheese (Microwave)

• Coat a microwave-safe bowl with a thin layer of olive oil and add mozzarella cheese.

• Microwave it for 30 seconds, then mix it up and down.

• Microwave for another 30 seconds to soften the cheese, then add it to the tteokbokki.

Making Fish Cakes (Air Fryer)

• Coat a piece of paper foil with a thin layer of olive oil.

• Cut 2-3 slices of fish cake into thin, long strips and spread them out without overlapping.

• Brush the tops of the fish cakes with oil as well.

• Bake them in an air fryer preheated to 180°C (356°F) for 8 minutes and they're done.

Caveats & tips

• Glutinous Rice Flour TimingBe sure to add it when the rice cakes are cooked and the broth has reduced, otherwise the sauce will be overly thick and stiff.
• Adjusting broth consistency: If the consistency is too thick, add about 50 ml of water to adjust.
• Adjusting spiciness: You can adjust the spiciness by adjusting the amount of chili powder, try it in 0.5T increments.
