Loaded with fiery gochujang, this vegan spicy Korean rice cake recipe is chewy, sweet and spicy, and ready in just 35 minutes from start to finish. If you don't know, tteokbokki (떡볶이), also spelled dukbokki, topokki, or ddeokbokki, are Korean hot and delicious, chewy, and doughy spicy rice cakes.
Just like Japan and Thailand, Korea is known for its amazing selection of street food. One of the most famous Korean street-foods, tteokbokki is fiery, savory and slightly sweet food perfection! Cylindrical, chewy white rice cake noodles called tteok are stir fried in a delicious spicy gochujang based sauce.
The sauce for this recipe is so good! You get sweetness initially, then the spiciness creeps up on you. It’s hot, but it’s a good burn! And the rice cakes! Oh my god- they have this amazing chewy texture to them that I love! It’s slightly chewier than mochi and some people equate it to the texture of mozzarella. So good!
