Equipment
- 2 bowls medium sized
- 1 Pan
Ingredients
Gungjung Tteokbokki Ingredients
- 5-6 dried shiitake mushrooms dry
- 12 oz garraetteok (cylinder rice cakes)
- 1 carrot julienned
- 1/2 onion sliced
- 1/2 zucchini julienned
- 2 stalks green onion thinly sliced
- 1/2-1 cup reserved mushroom soaking water*
Gungjung Tteokbokki Sauce
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp coconut sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Garnish
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Rehydrate Shiitake Mushrooms
- Add dried mushrooms to a medium sized bowl and soak in enough hot water to cover. Let soak for 15-20 minutes, until soft, then squeeze out excess liquid using your hands and set the mushrooms aside. Reserve the soaking water for future use.
- Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms.
Soak Garraetteok
- Place your uncooked tteok into a bowl of cool water to soak for about 15 minutes. Use your hands to separate any pieces that may be stuck together.
- Drain the water completely once ready to cook.
Make the Gungjung Tteokbokki
- In a pan or wok over medium heat, add neutral oil. Once hot, add shiitake mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add carrots, season with a touch of salt and cook for another minute until carrots are vibrant in colour.
- Add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until translucent and slightly tender. Finally add zucchini, green onion and salt to season and sauté again for a few minutes.
- Add tteok to the pan and toss to coat with the cooking oil. Add 1/2 cup (more as needed) of the mushroom soaking water and lower the heat to medium/low. Let the ingredients simmer and cook, tossing occasionally, until the tteok softens.
- Once the tteok is tender, mix together all sauce ingredients and add to the pan. Toss quickly to make sure the seasoning is distributed evenly.
- Transfer tteok to a plate, garnish with sesame seeds if desired and enjoy.
