Rose Tteokbokki Recipe — Cream and Gochujang Sauce
By Tteokbokki Curator
How to make rose tteokbokki: a strong red sauce, soaked rice cakes, then cream off the boil so the pot stays coral and clingy.
TL;DR
Cook a slightly strong gochujang pot, then stir in 200 ml heavy cream off the heat. Cheese last. If you add dairy too early, you get soup. Longer method: /blog/rose-tteokbokki-recipe/.
