I used tofu instead of fish cakes due to my seafood allergy. Preferred a thicker sauce and paired it with kimchi, it was delicious. Luv your recipes and videos, you’re awesome.

This recipe is amazing! I didn’t have anchovies, so I added a little MSG to the broth, then used rice syrup in place of the sugar, but 10/10. I will absolutely make this again!! Thank you!!
Yummy! First time having tteokbokki and first time making it! I added kimchi as well that I bought at a Korean market while visiting my family in Southern Ontario, Canada. The only Korean food I’ve experienced is bbq. Always wanted to try this and very pleased with the results. Super easy recipe. Thanks!
Needed a bit more sugar to balance the spice, but nonetheless it tasted like the tteokbokki I get in a Korean resto near my university. Thank you Maangchi!

Would it work to just start out with 2 1/2 cups of your recipe of Anchovy-Kelp Stock?
I had some leftover beef so I decided to add that into it. It came out good but I wasn’t sure how it would cook. I added more water to cook the beef and it looked like it had too much broth, so I took some out. It came out good overall~Ahh I added some tofu too-just decoded to make an account but it’s my nth time making tteokbokki- love the recipe!!!

Om nom nom It’s still so so good. I’d never make it right without you, Maangchi. Here’s my year-end ttoekbokki. Not exactly successful in my diet, though. Heheh

Hi Maangchi! I cooked tteokbokki for lunch following the recipe from your book and adding some noodles; it was delicious!!!! As it was a little bit too spicy for me (I am Spanish and our food is not spicy at all), I have reduced the amount of gochujang a little bit, and it has worked very well for me. Thank you for sharing this nice recipe with us <3<3<3

It looks so good!
Hi Maangchi! I was not able to find dried kelp at my Asian market, but I did get some fresh kelp. Will this work for the stock? Thank you!
Fresh kelp won’t work for making stock.
My hubby favourite!! He’s really love to eat 떡볶이. He’ll order 떡볶이 everytime we go to Korean restaurant. Now i just make it at home using your recipe. I put lots of 오뎅 because i love the taste. Like usual I’ll put some 고추가루 because i love spicy
