Tteokbokki is a bold, comforting Korean street food dish made with chewy rice cake sticks simmered in a spicy-sweet gochujang sauce. Anchovy stock builds deep umami flavor, while soy sauce, garlic, and gochugaru add savory heat and balance. As the sauce reduces, it thickly coats each rice cake for that signature glossy, clingy finish. Finished with scallions and sesame seeds, it’s a satisfying dish that delivers big flavor with minimal ingredients.
