DdukBokKi is a Korean street food snack dish. It is rice cakes, along with fish cakes and hard boiled eggs, drenched in a thick spicy sauce. This is a very simple dish and is very filling too!

 

Recipe I used as a guideline. 

 

Ingredients I used:

Unsalted Chicken Broth

Hot Pepper Paste

Red Pepper Flakes

Rice Cakes (cylinder shaped)

Fish Cakes (small sheets I cut into triangles)

Green Onions

Agave Nectar

Hardboiled Eggs

 

Hot pepper paste, red pepper flakes, rice cakes, and fish cakes can be found in your local Asian supermarket. I purchased mine at H-mart, a Korean supermarket. 

 

I decided to use chicken broth instead of making the soup base as indicated in the recipe, mainly because I wanted to cut down the amount of ingredients and steps needed. It makes your life so much easier using a pre-made broth. For those of you who dont like chicken broth, feel free to use beef broth; though I am not sure what the end result will taste like as I have yet to try it myself. Also, I used agave nectar instead of sugar just because I had it on hand.

 

If you do not want to put fish cakes in your ddukbokki, feel free to add meat instead. I am sure it would be more filling and more delicious, especially if you stir fry the meat of choice before adding your soup base!
