Instructions

1 If your tteokbokki are hard soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, otherwise
skip this step.
2 Place the water, kelp, and dry anchovies in a pot. Bring to a boil and when
boiling immediately turn off the heat. Strain out the kelp and anchovies.
3 Add the soy sauce, sugar, shallot, garlic, chili flakes, and chili paste to the
pot and bring back to a boil. Stir all of the ingredients and let the liquid
reduce and thicken.
4 After about 10 minutes the tteokbokki sauce should be thickened and glossy. If
it seems very thin still you can let it cook more, but do note that the natural
starches in the rice cakes will add a bit of thickening to the sauce.

Add in the rice cakes and let boil for 4-6 more minutes.
5 Move to a large bowl and mix in the sesame oil if you are using it.
6 Plate the tteokbokki and sprinkle over sliced green onion and sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
