Ingredients
- 200g tteokbokki (Korean rice cakes)
- 2 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Soak the tteokbokki in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, but slightly undercook them (about 1-2 minutes less than recommended).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato sauce, heavy cream, chicken or vegetable broth, gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Drain the tteokbokki and ramen noodles. Add the tteokbokki and ramen noodles to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
