There are many ways to prepare this humble lump of rice flour – you can stir-fry it, put it in soup or even make Ddeokbokki skewers and grill it on the barbeque! Today, I made Spicy Ddeokbokki. My recipe’s all vegetarian, but you can use dried anchovies instead of kelp for a sweeter stock.

Step 1: Ingredients!

About 15-20 rice cake sticks 1 1/2 tbsp of gochujang 6 dried kelp knots soaked in water or a small handful of cleaned dried anchovies (ikan bilis) 3 stalks of green onion cut into 5cm strips 2 bowls of water sugar to taste

Step 2: Make a simple stock!
