Spicy Korean Rice Cake (ddukbokki) topped with Cheese

by Chef Jo

Ingredients:

Brown Onions.

Spring Onions.

Rice Cake.

Minced Pork (can be any type of meat of your choice).

Cheese (optional).

Preparation:

1. Soak the frozen rice cake into the boiling hot water until soften. Be patient as it will take quite some time. You can prepare other stuff while waiting. Remove and run through cold water.

2. Marinate the minced pork with Soya Sauce, Dark Soya Sauce, Pepper and Sesame Oil.

3. Slice the spring onions and onions into shape showed in the picture.

Cooking:

1. Heat up the frying pan. Then, heat the cooking oil too.

**Tips: To test whether the cooking oil is completely heated, test it by soaking the tip of a wooden chopstick, if the cooking oil is heated, there will be air bubbles coming out from the chopstick**

2. Stir fry the minced pork and remove it from the frying pan.

3. Add some oil if needed. Then stir fry the brown onions and spring onions until they are soften.

4. Next, add in the cooked minced pork and rice cake together.

5. Finally, put in 2 spoonfuls of Korean Spicy Sauce (Chili Paste).

6. Add in some water and close the lid. Let it simmers for about 5 minutes to allow the rice cake to absorb the spicy sauce.

7. Finally, it’s the time to add in salt and sugar at your own choice. It all depends whether you want it to be sweeter, salty or let it be.

8. Done!

Optional Suggestion:

I used to have Dokbokgi in a Korean restaurant where they serve it with baked cheese topping. YES! It’s super duper nice! AHAHAHA! So maybe you should try it too! Simply just spread some cheese on top of you Dokbokgi and heat it in a microwave or an oven. I personally think that using the oven produces a better result!
