Tteokbokki Sauce Recipe

Tammicita May 2, 2025 5:06 pm

Hello all. I found a Korean market close to where I live and found some rice cake tubes. Now all I need is a good recipe for tteokbokki
sauce!

Anybody got any good recipes they could share?

My spicy tolerance is somewhere between I'm from Ecuador and we like some spice and my husbands family is from India. So I would say a level 6.

    Ingredients:

    [Tteokbokki]
    - Rice Cake
    - Green Onion
    - Fish Cake (optional)

    [Sauce]
    - Sugar
    - Gochugaru
    - Soy Sauce
    - Gochujang

    Directions:

    1. Slice green onion (1) in half and chop it into finger length pieces
    2. In a pan, add olive oil (2), and cook green onion until it softens
    3. Now, add water (500ml/17oz), sugar (2), gochugaru (2), soy-sauce (2), and gochujang (3)
    4. Once it boils, add the rice cake (500g) and fish cake (handful) and simmer it in medium heat
    5. Make sure to move around the rice cake so it doesn't stick to the pan
    6. Once the sauce thickens, add boiled eggs for that extra protein (optional)

    Hi!! this is the recipe i follow like everytime i make tteokbokki from @littlericenoodle on tt, the spice level depends on how much gochujang you put into it so feel free to tweak it

    Ingredients(2 portions):
    tteokbokki 500g
    garlic 5 cloves, chopped
    1 small onion, sliced
    a chunk of leek, sliced
    200g cabbage, sliced
    5 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
    2 tbsp gochugaru(Korean chili flakes)
    2 tbsp sugar
    3 tbsp soy sauce
    200ml hot water
    1 scallion, sliced
    1 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
    100g vegan cheese(or any shredded cheese you like)
    oil

    Boil the tteokbokki for 3 minutes, then soak in cold water.
    In a bowl, mix the gochujang, gochugar, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce and 3 tbsp water.
    Heat up a wok/non-stick pan over medium-high heat, once hot add oil, add garlic, onion and leek, stir for one minute until aromatic, add the cabbage, stir for another minute. Add the sauce from last step, stir a little then add the tteokbokki, pour in 200ml hot water.
    Put the lid on and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens, add the vegan cheese, mix for 30 seconds, then sprinkle the scallion and sesame on.

    hi this is what i made yesterday, just a thing the original recipe contains sugar but i dislike foods which are sweet and spicy at the same time. This is the most basic recipe of tteotboki

    heat one cup of water , when its almsot boiling put 2 table spoons of gochujang and 1 table spoon of soy sauce, 1 table spoon of sugar (i skip this step) then add the tteotboki let it boil and when u deem it soft enough take it out and serve wth sesame seeds and green onion.

    another thing you can do w the same recipe is instead of 2 cups, add like 3-4 cups and follow the same recipe, and add buldak spicy noodles and the buldak sauce then again serve it with green onions, kinda like a hot pot i guess? it tastes supper good, but only if you have a good spice tollerance
