About this dish
Water and milk make the base, with gochujang stirred in, and the rice cakes and fish cake simmer in it.

Milk tends to split over high heat, so the pot stays at medium-low the whole time, and the mozzarella goes in just before the heat goes off to melt on what is left.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
If the 300 g rice cakes feel firm, soak them in lukewarm water for 5 minutes, then drain well.
Cut the 100 g fish cake into bite-size pieces so it heats evenly with the rice cakes.
- 2
Pour 180 ml water and 250 ml milk into a pot.
Add the chili paste, chili flakes, sugar, and minced garlic, then whisk until no paste lumps remain before turning the heat higher.
- 3
Heat over medium heat just until small bubbles appear around the edge.
As soon as it begins to simmer, lower to medium-low so the milk stays smooth and does not split.
- 4
Add the rice cakes and fish cake, then simmer for about 6 minutes while stirring often.
The texture is right when the rice cakes soften and the sauce lightly coats a spoon.
- 5
Before serving, reduce for 1 more minute so the sauce stays thick as it cools.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking on the bottom, and lower the heat if the sauce tightens too quickly.
- 6
Turn the heat almost off and add 80 g mozzarella cheese.
Let the residual heat melt it gently, then stir until the sauce looks creamy and portion the tteokbokki into cups.
