Instruction

Put the rice in a zip bag (or mortar) and then smash it hard with a pestle until the mixture became a very sticky dough.

Pour tapioca flour into the mixture then knead the dough until it becomes smooth, non-sticky.

Shape the dough into a long stick and cut into pieces. Cover each piece with flour to avoid them sticking together.

Boil a pot of water, put the rice cakes in. When the tteokbokki is cooked, take them out and put them in a bowl of cold water.

To make the sauce, saute the onion, add 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon chili sauce, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon Korean chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning, 150-200ml drinking water and bring the mixture to the boil.

Put the rice cakes in the sauce. Leave the heat on for 1-2 more minutes then add sausages, cabbage and onions.

Turn off the heat when the sauce gets thickened, then add hard-boiled eggs, roasted sesame seeds, and chopped scallions.

Notes

If rice is too dry, you should add a little water to soften the dough.

Gloves should be worn when kneading glutinous rice and flour to avoid the mixture sticking to your hands.
