SPICY KOREAN RICE CAKES (TTEOKBOKKI)
This popular street-food dish, called tteokbokki, is a garlicky, richly spiced dish of rice cakes bathed in red chile paste. Tteokbokki (pronounced duck-bo-key) got its own festival, spinning off from the larger annual Seoul festival of rice cakes, or tteok.

Steps:
- Soak tteok in cold water to cover while preparing the other ingredients, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Combine beef with soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and garlic.
- Heat a wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add beef mixture and stir-fry just until lightly browned, 1 minute. Add onion, scallions, and cabbage, if using, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add gochujang and mix. Add about 1/3 cup water, remaining teaspoon sesame oil, sugar and tteok. Mix and let simmer until sauce is thick and tteok is soft, adding water a little at a time as needed. Adjust seasonings with sugar and gochujang.
- Mix in scallions and serve hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
