Hey everyone! So, I've been really craving some Tteokbokki lately, and I thought, why not give it a shot in my own kitchen? After a bit of research and experimentation, I've come up with a recipe that I think you'll all love just as much as I do!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rice cakes (tteok)
- 2 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons of gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced (optional)
- 1 sheet of roasted seaweed, shredded (optional)
- In a pot, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
- Add the rice cakes to the boiling water and let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until they become soft and chewy.
- While the rice cakes are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Once the rice cakes are cooked, drain them from the water and set them aside.
- In the same pot, add the prepared sauce and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the cooked rice cakes to the simmering sauce and stir well to coat them evenly.
- Let the Tteokbokki simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the rice cakes are coated and heated through.
- Once ready, transfer the Tteokbokki to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.
- For an extra touch, you can add slices of hard-boiled egg and shredded roasted seaweed on top.
