Instructions

Step 1: Drain 1 lb soaked Korean rice cakes and set aside. In a large pan, combine 2 cups water, 3 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir over medium heat until sauce begins to bubble and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
Step 2: Add rice cakes and 1 cup sliced fish cakes to the sauce. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice cakes become soft and chewy and sauce thickens enough to coat them well.
Step 3: Stir in 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp sesame oil. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for a spicy, chewy delight.
