How to make Korean Vegetarian Tteok-Bokki. Korean spicy rice cake recipe
Start by preparing the rice cakes. To do that, first you need to knead the dough with rice flour, salt and boiling water. The dough should be in a semi-solid state. Use your hands to form a long, thin log from the dough and cut it like in the video below. Next, you put the raw stick in boiling water and cook it. Drain them and let them rest.
Meanwhile, boil the dried tomatoes and peppers. Put them in a blender along with the coriander leaves, ginger, garlic, ketchup, soy sauce and white vinegar, then puree.
Heat oil in pan. Stir-fry sesame seeds and dried onions. Pour the puree into the pan and season with pepper, salt, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Add the cooked rice stick and soak it in the sauce. Once the sauce has combined with the rice cakes, garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot!
