Ingredients needed for this recipe

- 2 cups of rice cakes (cylinder style tteok)
- 2 green onions
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp white sugar
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp Dasida® beef flavor soup stock powder

- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

How to make Korean Stir-fried Rice Cakes
This recipe is very easy and only takes about 12 minutes from start to finish to make. First, you will need to make the sauce by mixing together the soy sauce, white sugar, black pepper, Dasida® beef flavor soup stock powder and fish sauce in a small bowl. Set this aside for later.
Rinse the rice cakes and drain well. Put a medium-sized pan onto medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the rice cakes to the heated pan, stir well and cook until the rice cakes get soft (about 6-8 minutes). Keep an eye on the rice cakes, and add about a tablespoon of water at a time, ensuring the rice cakes don’t burn to the bottom of the pan.
Then, add the green onions and sauce to the frying pan and cook for another 2 minutes. Continue adding a tablespoon of water at a time to ensure nothing burns to the bottom of the pan.
Once rice cakes are soft and everything is mixed well, remove the pan from heat. Add the sesame oil and mix it together well. Right before serving sprinkle sesame seeds on top. That’s it! Enjoy!
