Step 1

Add water and dashi stock powder to a wok or large frypan and bring to the boil. Add in the gochujang paste, red chilli flakes, sugar and soy sauce and stir into a luscious, fragrant soup.

Step 2

Pop in the rice cakes and spring onion and bring back to the boil, then simmer for around 10 minutes until the rice cakes have softened, stirring frequently so they don't stick to the bottom. You'll know it's done when the sauce becomes thick and glossy and the rice cakes are nicely chewy (go on, test one, you know you want to!). If the rice cakes aren’t soft enough, add in a little more water and continue to cook until ready.

Step 3

Just before serving, pour in the sesame oil and give it a good stir. Garnish with more spring onion, then serve piping hot and delicious!
