Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

• 2 tablespoons of canola oil (or any vegetable oil)
• 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic (around 3-4 bulbs)
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 500 grams of rice cakes
• 4 ounces fish cake
• 2 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of gochugaru
• 2 tablespoons of gochujang
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 cup of milk
• ½ tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup of shredded cheese
• Garnishes: chopped scallion, sesame seeds, boiled egg

Let’s Get Cooking!

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and fry chopped garlic until it’s brown and fragrant. Next, sauté sliced onion with garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until they’re translucent.

Add the Rice Cakes and Fish Cake

Add rice cakes to the skillet, ensuring they’re all coated in oil and crispy. Then, add fish cake and stir everything for another 5 minutes or so.

Spice It Up!

Add soy sauce, gochugaru, and gochujang to the mixture, making sure all rice cakes and fish cake are coated nicely. Sauté everything for 2-3 minutes.

The Creamy Finishing Touch

Mix heavy cream and milk, then pour the liquid over the pan. Bring the heat to low and let all the ingredients get absorbed by the sauce. Keep stirring to avoid any rice cakes sticking out to the bottom for 10 minutes, or until they’re tender when poked.

The Final Flourish

Right before finishing, add shredded cheese to the pan, allowing it to melt and become delightfully cheesy. Finally, garnish the dish with chopped scallion, sesame seeds, and boiled eggs.

Serve and Enjoy!

Your Spicy Carbonara Tteokbokki is now ready to be devoured. Savor the harmonious blend of Korean and Italian flavors in this innovative dish that’s sure to impress your friends and family.
