Spicy Korean Rice Cakes (Ddeokbokki or Tteokbokki) image

This is a very hot and spicy snack eaten all over Korea in homes and at food stands in the street. It consists of a lovely red sauce and chewy rice cakes which look like very thick, short noodles. If you're a spice lover and want to try a new texture, I would highly recommend this ddokboki, which we made with the kids at my school. It is always done to taste: some sweet, some hot, some with heavy garlic. You can imagine the variety we got with so many kids cooking it. Either way it is a definite Korean comfort food that you can experience with a quick trip to your Asian grocery store.

This was so easy to make and so delicious! I used brown rice cakes and it turned out great. The sauce was flavorful and slightly spicy. I will definitely be making this again!

I love this recipe! The rice cakes are so chewy and the sauce is so flavorful. I always add some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make it a more complete meal.

This was my first time making ddeokbokki and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the rice cakes were cooked perfectly. The sauce was a little too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding some sugar.

This was so yummy! I added some extra gochujang and gochugaru for a little extra spice, and it was perfect. The rice cakes were chewy and the sauce was flavorful and slightly spicy. I will definitely be making this again!
