Ingredients

  • 300 g frozen tteokbokki (rice cakes)
  • 2 packets instant ramen noodles (2 packets, seasoning discarded)
  • 3 tbsp gochujang (red chili paste)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 stalks green onion (chopped) & sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil water in a large skillet or shallow pot over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add tteokbokki and ramen noodles, breaking up the noodle cakes as they soften, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in gochujang, sugar, and soy sauce until fully mixed and no lumps remain.

  4. 4

    Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the rice cakes.

  5. 5

    Top with chopped green onion and a pinch of sesame seeds.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately in bowls; the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
