How to make it

  1. 1

    Pour the water into a pot, stir in the gochugaru, gochujang, sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic, and bring it to a boil.

  2. 2

    Add the tteokbokki rice cakes and eomuk and cook them over medium heat, stirring as they go.

  3. 3

    Add the cabbage, green onion, and Cheongyang chili peppers and simmer until the broth thickens.

  4. 4

    Stir in the corn syrup (mulyeot) for gloss and a sweet-hot finish.

  5. 5

    If you like, lay mozzarella on top and let it melt before eating.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

  • If the filling is too salty, work in tofu or rice. You cannot add water to a filling, so you make more of it to dilute the seasoning.
