Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Korean rice cakes (tteok), soaked if refrigerated
- 12 frozen chicken dumplings (mandu)
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
- 1½ cups water or broth
- 2 boiled eggs, halved
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, and water or broth.
- Lightly grease a baking dish and pan-fry the dumplings until golden on both sides.
- Place rice cakes and dumplings in the baking dish, pour sauce over, and stir gently to coat. Nestle in halved boiled eggs.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbling.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
