Step 1

In a pan over medium heat, pour in enough oil to cover the surface of the pan.

Step 2

If your tteokbokki/rice cakes are frozen, soak it in hot water for 5 minutes. If it's not frozen, you can proceed with the next step.

Step 3

Once hot enough, add the tteokbokki/rice cakes and leave it to cook until the bottom turns golden brown. Flip/stir occasionally until both sides turn golden brown (about 10 minutes).

Step 4

Add all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and mix well. Add more water if you want a looser sauce.

Step 5

Transfer the tteokbokki/rice cakes to a serving plate and drizzle the sauce on top or serve on the side. Add more chili oil on top and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
