Ddukbokki Success

My Homemade ddukbokki. 

Here's a recipe I created for ddukbokki, a Korean spicy rice cake dish that also has fish cake and veggies. It's perfect on a cold winter night, and provided that you have an Asian market nearby, relatively quick and easy to make.

Save some fresh rice cakes to heat up with the leftovers the next day.

Ingredients

4 cups water
7 dried anchovies, heads and intestines removed

2 big spoonfuls of gochujang
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cabbage, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 T soy sauce
fish sauce to taste
pinch of salt
pepper to taste
1 T sugar
pack of fresh rice cake
1/2 pack of frozen fish cake, mixed variety (oden)

7 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces

Bring 4 cups water to a boil and add anchovies. Simmer lively for 10 minutes. Remove anchovies and bring to a boil.

Add gochujang, garlic, soy sauce, fish suace, salt, pepper, and sugar and stir until combined. Add onions an cabbage and bring to a boil. Add in the rice cakes and fish cake and cook for about 20 minutes. Add the green onions about half way through the cooking time.

Check the seasonings and adjust accordingly. Serve hot.

Ddukbokki-- spicy, sweet, chewy, and delicious.
