Ji Hye Kim, chef and owner of Miss Kim in Ann Arbor, MI is making tteokboki, a chewy, crispy, spicy, and savory street snack that’s wildly popular in Korea. The star of Ji Hye’s recipe is Korean rice cakes, which she softens in water and then fries in a pan with pork belly and simmers in a sweet and spicy gochujang sauce. Paired with soft-boiled eggs and scallions, you’ll immediately understand why tteokboki is a hit on Ji Hye’s restaurant menu.

My roommate was trying to find a pan-fried recipe rather than a stewed one because she likes "the kind we get from Miss Kim's". We lost it when the chef introduced herself.

I worked at her restaurant for a while and cooked this dish countless times a day. Always hits the spot!

this is a version of oil tteokboki. oil tteokboki is not as common as “regular” tteokboki, but it’s still considered a street food. it can be found in some parts of korea. if it’s too spicy or sweet, you can always alter it. if you don’t want the egg in it or you want it cooked more or less, you can alter that too. not a big deal people.

I LOVE this dish. More people around the world need to try it. You'll fall in love.

First, I love tteokbokki. Second, I didn't know this kind of tteokbokki existed. Third, I can actually go and try this out because I live near ann arbor!

Only version I've tried is the saucy, anchovy broth type (both from our local Korean restaurant and once homemade). Looking forward to trying this!

I ate rice cakes for the first time yesterday . The texture intrigued me. I didn't love it but also didn't hate it . I need to investigate more.

기름떡볶이다 ㅎㅎ 일반 떡볶이보다 좀 더 자극적이고 구운 다음 양념에 버무리기 때문에 겉은 바삭하고 쫄깃해서 맛있죠. 전 국물떡볶이를 더 좋아하긴 하지만요. ㅋㅋㅋ

Love the way she explained everything. I've had the sauce in the jar before but never knew how to make from scratch. 👍👍👍

I have never had this dish but I've seen it on so many channels and it just looks good.

Tried this for the first time recently. I really liked it, a bit like gnocchi.
