🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Pot & Sauce Base

First, pour 1,000 ml (33.8 fl oz) of water into a wide pan, turn on the heat, and add your wheat rice cakes and sliced fish cakes.

Next, add 2 heaped tablespoons (60 g / 2.1 oz) of Korean chili paste (Gochujang).

Add 4 tablespoons (48 g / 1.7 oz) of sugar to balance the heat.

Add 2 tablespoons (16 g / 0.56 oz) of Korean chili flakes (Gochugaru) for a vibrant red color and mild kick.

Add 1/2 tablespoon (6 g / 0.21 oz) of Miwon (MSG) for that authentic Korean street food savory flavor.

Add 1/2 tablespoon (6 g / 0.21 oz) of Beef Dashida stock powder to deepen the broth.

Pour in 1 tablespoon (8 ml / 0.27 fl oz) of Korean dark soy sauce.

Give it about 10 light shakes of black pepper.

Finally, add the fresh scallions cut into 3–4 cm pieces.

🔥 Step 2: Simmer for 12 Minutes

Stir gently to dissolve all seasonings. Let it simmer over medium heat for 12 minutes so the rice cakes absorb the rich, spicy broth.

🧪 Step 3: Make the Handmade Rice Paper Cheese Rolls (The Experiment!)

While the tteokbokki is simmering, dip a sheet of rice paper into warm water until soft and pliable.

Place 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center and roll it tightly like a thick rice cake.

Repeat this process to make as many rice paper cheese rolls as you like!

🧀 Step 4: Add Cheese Rolls & 400g Mozzarella Cheese Bomb

When the 12-minute simmer is almost complete, gently place your handmade rice paper cheese rolls into the pan.

Pour a massive 400 g (14.1 oz) mozzarella cheese bomb onto one side of the simmering tteokbokki.

🤤 Step 5: Cover & Melt for 5 Minutes

Cover the pan with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.

Once the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, turn off the heat. Your epic Cheese Bomb Soupy Tteokbokki is complete!

Enjoy the ultimate stretchy cheese pull!

💡 Chef's Tips for Success

• Wheat vs. Rice Cakes: Wheat rice cakes (Mil-tteok) absorb soup fast and stay tender, while traditional Rice cakes (Ssal-tteok) offer a denser, chewier bite.

• Fish Cake Substitute: If Korean fish cakes aren't available in your local Asian store, fish balls or fried tofu pockets work wonderfully!

• The Epic Cheese Pull: Using whole-milk shredded mozzarella gives you the longest, most photogenic cheese pulls for your social media posts.
