Tteokbokki (Spicy Korean Rice Cakes)

By Catherine Yoo

Saucy, spicy tteokbokki stars tteok (chewy Korean rice cakes). Stir-frying the rice cakes gives them lightly crisp edges before they simmer in an umami-rich anchovy-kelp dashi spiked with gochujang and gochugaru. Odeng (Korean fish cakes) adds another bouncy texture, though you can leave it out.
