Steps

30 mins

1

Make a well in the flour for the water and salt, and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
2

Roll out the dough into a tube-shape of approximately 2cm diameter. Cut them length-wise into ~5cm pieces.
3

Cook the rice cakes in boiling water until they float.
4

Transfer the cooked rice cakes immediately into cold water.
5

While the rice cakes cool, mix the ingredients for the gochujang sauce in a separate bowl.
6

In a pan, add the 360ml of water and the sauce and bring to a boil.
7

Once boiling, add the rice cakes and simmer until reduced.
8

Add the spring onions and optionally kimchi. Korean fish cakes are also a great addition.

Continue simmering for 2-3 minutes, then kill the heat and serve with boiled eggs and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
