Cheese tteokbokki

Tteokbokki (떡볶이) are Korean rice dumplings generally eaten as street food. There are several recipes, from the classic to the non-spicy one with soy sauce. Here I propose the spicy version with stringy cheese.


INGREDIENTS

- 1 portion of cylindrical rice dumplings

- 1 boiled egg

- 1 onion cut into slices

- 1 crushed garlic clove

- 1 frankfurter cut into chunks

- 1 piece fishcake cut into thick slices

- 1 spoon gochujang

- 1 spoon gochugaru

- 1 teaspoon mirin

- 1 spoon salsa di soia

- 1 tablespoon rice malt syrup (or honey)

- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 1 piece mozzarella (prepared for pizza)

- 1 slice of melted cheese

- finely chopped spring onion (only the green part)

- vegetable oil


PREPARATION

- Blanch the rice dumplings in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain, pour into a bowl and mix with a drizzle of oil so they don't stick together. Keep aside.

- Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil in a saucepan. Then add frankfurters, rice dumplings, fishcake, water to taste, gochujang, gochugaru, mirin, soy sauce, syrup, sugar. Stir and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.

- Place the mozzarella and the melted cheese on top. Cover with a lid and wait for the cheese to melt.

- Garnish with the boiled egg cut in half and the spring onion.
