Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the onions, chop the cabbage, dice the eggplants, and slice the fishcake. Mince the garlic and chop the cilantro. Set everything aside.
  2. Cook the Rice Cakes: In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice cakes and cook until they are soft and chewy (about 10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a large pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and onions, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant. Add the gochujang, sugar, salt, soy sauce, and chili powder. Stir well to combine.
  4. Cook the Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage and diced eggplants to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked rice cakes and sliced fishcake to the pan. Stir to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the flour with a bit of water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the pan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  7. Finishing Touches: Stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon zest. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
  8. Serve: Transfer the tteokbokki to a large serving platter. Garnish with sliced avocados and serve immediately.
