Ingredients

Steps

  1. Bring the stock to a boil and whisk in the gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, and soy sauce.

  2. Add the drained rice cakes and simmer 10 minutes, stirring so they don't stick.

  3. Add the fish cakes and scallions and cook 4 minutes until the sauce coats a spoon.

  4. Finish with sesame oil and seeds.

The sauce thickens fast at the end — pull it while it still flows.

Swaps

  • Skip the fish cakes and use vegetable stock to keep it vegetarian.
