A delicious twist on rice to accompany Korean dishes. Tkeokbokki are long, thin cylinders with a chewy texture. They are made from compressed rice. Eomuk are made from minced white fish mixed with potato flour and a few vegetables. Often in the shape of a thin rectangle. Both are available from Korean suppliers.

Preparation

  1. Soak the Rice Cakes

    • Soak the tkeokbokki for 20 minutes if hardened or refrigerated. Cut into 2 inch pieces along with the cabbage and scallions.
  2. Prepare the Sauce

    • Add the prepared Knorr® Ultimate Fish Base (or water can be used as a substitute) to a large pan. Stir in the sauce ingredients; gochujang paste (red chilli paste), gochugaru (chilli pepper flakes), soy sauce, sugar and minced garlic cloves. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat, stirring to dissolve the gochujang.
  3. Finish the Dish

    • Add the Tkeokbokki and boil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are very soft and the sauce has thickened.
    • Stir frequently so the Tkeokbokki doesn’t stick.
    • Add the vegetables and eomuk. Continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 4 to 6 minutes.
    • Taste and adjust the seasoning.
    • Add the sesame oil and sesame seeds (if using) just before turning off the heat. Serve immediately.
