♥ Ddeok bok-ee (Korean Spicy Fried Rice Cakes) ♥


Saturday, December 09, 2006

I am a fanatic korean drama fan and I always see the characters talking about La4 Chao3 Nian2 Gao1 in the show. I was so intrigued and kept thinking well, what's all the hype about this korean street dish? A friend told me that it is one of the most popular snacks among korean teens, especially for girls . All my questions were answered when i sank my teeth in these Rice Cakes. It was DELISH!! A must try!! And it so easy to cook, you wouldn't believe it! It's hot, hot, and hot!!! & packed with vitamin C, thus , korean girls believe this make their skin beautiful. Might be too spicy for those who are not familiar with Korean food. But it's really good.

I was lucky to have watched a native korean chef prepare this dish on Quan2 Neng2 Mei3 Shi2 Show. =D I went to the korean specialty store @ bugis to buy the neccessary ingredients and so, here's the vegetarian version..





What you need:

225g ddeok (tube shape rice cake)
2 vegetarian fish cakes, cut into bite size
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
1/4 cabbage, roughly chopped
1/4 carrot - sliced,
1 stalk green onion - chopped
2 tbsp gochoojang (Korean chili paste)
1 tbsp gochoogaroo (Korean chili powder)
1 teaspoon minced garlic,
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp soy sauce
dash of pepper
1 tsp sesame oil
sesame seeds



Method:

Cut Ddeok into 1/2 cm slices and place in a saucepan, add water to just barely cover, cook until soft.

Add go choo jang, go choo ga roo, sugar, soy sauce, pepper.Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer until the sauce gets a little thick.

Add vegetables, cook for 2-3 minutes. Put vegetarian fish cake in, simmer for another 1-2 minutes.

Finish with spring onion and sesame seeds.

Serve hot.


Tips:
Thin rice cakes cook faster and also absorb flavor faster.Ibought the pre-sliced frozen 1 kg packs.
