Ddukbokkie (Korean spicy Rice Cakes)



Just want to give a shout out to Maangchi. I love her online Korean cooking shows. They make Korean cooking look so good and easy to make. Here's my first dish made from a recipe on her site with some personal changes and notes from me.

Ingredients:

7 Large Dried Anchovies
1/2 package of Korean rice cakes (1 lb)
4 tbs Hot pepper Paste
1 tbs sugar
1 tbs hot pepper flakes (optional)
Green onions (optional)

Directions:


1. Clean the dried anchovies, remove their heads and intestines. Cut along the stomach of the anchovies, the intestine are the black items you will see inside. Sorry for the blurry photo, I've tried taking them several times and can't find a reason why they keep coming out blurry. Remove them and place them to boil in water for 10 minutes over medium heat.

2. Separate the tubes of rice cake into individual pieces.

3. In a pan, pour 4 cups of water and add 7 large dried anchovies. Boil the water for 10 minutes over medium heat.


4. Remove the anchovies and add the rice cakes, 4 tbs of hot pepper paste, 1 tbs of sugar, and 1 tbs of hot pepper flakes. Stir it constantly or else rice cakes will start sticking to bottom of the pan.

5. Cut 7 green onions into 5 cm long pieces, and add them to the pot.

6. Keep stirring until the sauce is thick and the rice cake is shiny. Transfer it to a plate and serve!
