Time For My Personal Tips!

Tip 1: To enhance the flavor of the broth, try using homemade anchovy broth instead of water. It adds depth and richness to the tteokbokki sauce.

Tip 2: For a twist, try adding some sliced shiitake mushrooms along with the vegetables. They soak up the sauce beautifully and add an earthy flavor to the dish.

Tip 3: Don’t overcook the rice cakesâ€”they should be tender but still have a slight chewiness to them. Overcooking can make them mushy, so keep an eye on them while they’re boiling.
