Korean Tteokbokki Recipe | How to Make Rice Cakes at Home

Hi, I'm Priyanka and welcome to The Terrace Kitchen. Today we are going to make a very popular Korean recipe, which is Tteok-bokki. My pronunciation is a little off here and there. It can be a type of rice cakes. Let's start the recipe. First of all, put 1 cup of water in a pan or kadhai. 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. And a little salt as per taste. Then add 1 cup of rice flour. You can use ready-made rice flour. Once the water starts boiling, add the rice flour. And mix it quickly. It will form big lumps. Keep the flame on low. Mix it well on low heat. Then cover it and let it cook for 2 minutes on low flame. Then turn off the flame and cover it and let it cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, it has become soft. Now we have to transfer it to a bowl. The flour is still hot. So I will wait for it to become lukewarm. So that I can touch it. If you cook the rice flour only in hot water. And if you follow this process comparatively. Your rice cakes will be softer and tastier. So I would say, instead of cooking the flour only in hot water. Follow this step. You will get a very tasty and amazing result. Once it is warm, mix it together. And apply some oil. It will be sticky compared to wheat flour. But it won't be so sticky that you can't work with it. Now take a ball and press it lightly. When you press it, it will become very smooth. First press it tight. So that the cracks or gaps are removed. And then start rolling it. On a chopping board, on a rolling board or on a counter. And make a long roll like this. Now cut medium sized pieces of this roll. These are long cylinders. Give some shape to the edges. Our rice cakes are ready. We have reached one step ahead. Similarly, make the rest of the balls. Make a roll and cut it to make rice cakes. We are not going to boil the rice cakes. We are going to steam them. They are boiled. But by steaming, you will get more taste in it. And it will be easier to handle. So make all the rice cakes first. I have made these rice cakes with 1 cup of rice flour. They are very beautiful. Now let's move to the next step. I am going to steam them. You can boil them if you want. To steam them, apply oil on the steamer basket. Then put water in the steamer. For today's steaming, I am using my Agaro Regency Multi Kettle. You can use any other steamer if you want. But this kettle is very convenient to use. After the water boils, steam the rice cakes for at least 10 minutes. After that, take them out and put them in a plate. After 10 minutes, they will become soft. If you eat them like this, they will be very tasty. Now I am steaming the rest of the rice cakes. The rice cakes are steamed well in the kettle. You can boil them if you want. Until the rice cakes float. But I think steaming is a better option. Next, put 3-4 cups of water in a pan. You can adjust the quantity of water. Then put 1-2 tsp of gochujang paste. I have already posted a recipe with desi ingredients. If you want, you can use ready-made paste. Or you can use red chili paste. But this will give you an authentic taste. Then put 1 tsp of finely chopped garlic. 1 cup of green onions. I am using the front part of the green onions. 1 cup of cabbage. 1 tsp of sugar. 1-2 tsp of soy sauce. We have not tempered it in oil. Normally, it is made like this. But if you want, you can saute it in oil. Then put 1-2 tsp of spring onion. Let it boil well. Put a little salt. Let it boil well. Then put rice cakes in it. This is a very tasty preparation. It is spicy and tangy. It has a little sweetness from gochujang and sugar. Let the sauce boil well. The gravy will become thick. The starch from the rice cakes also helps. So you don't need to add cornflour separately. When it reaches the right consistency, you can turn off the flame. Finally, put 1 tsp of sesame seeds. Mix it well and serve it hot. It tastes delicious this way. You can garnish it with sesame seeds and green onions. I have shared my favorite Korean recipe with you. I hope you liked it. It looks tempting. But how to make it with Indian ingredients? I have shared it with you today. In fact, gochujang is also made at home with Indian ingredients. The rice cakes are very tender and soft. It doesn't feel like you are eating something hard. It melts in your mouth. If you liked this recipe, share it with your friends and family. Like the video. Subscribe to Tarar's Kitchen.
