1. I bought the rice cakes in airtight packaging, break them down and soak them in clean water for about ten minutes. I soaked rice cake sticks and Zhixin rice cake together.
2. The fish cake is a long strip, written in small pieces, not too small, it will easily affect the taste, cut the cuttlefish ball from the middle, otherwise it will not be easy to taste.
3. Hot sauce and sauce. Just a little bit of carrot and onion, I didn't put too much because it was used as a side dish and I didn't eat it much. I use a seasoned sauce. If you use regular tomato sauce, you need to add a little sugar. For the hot sauce, I used the rice cake sauce that I gave when I bought the rice cake. I think the difference between rice cake sauce and ordinary Korean hot sauce is the addition of some sugar and some sourness. And this hot sauce is not too spicy.
4. If you burn oil in the pot, it is not easy to get too much oil, and the taste will be greasy. Pass the onions and carrots in oil, watch the onions start to soften, and stir fry the rice cakes. I use salad oil, but the rice cake doesn't change color, it just feels soft.
5. Add water to cover the rice cake. When the amount is less, there is not enough water to add the ingredients, and if the amount is too much, the rice cakes will become soft and there will be a lot of soup. Put a spoonful of salt to taste. Because the sauce and rice cake chili sauce have salt in them, you can put a little bit less. Here I have an opinion. I saw other people teach you how to put pepper powder or pepper. I don't recommend putting it. When you eat pepper powder, you will feel a sense of home cooking. Pepper will especially grab the taste of hot sauce. It's best to just keep it.
6. Wait until the water is slightly boiled before adding fish cakes, cuttlefish balls and boiled eggs. Because fish cakes and cuttlefish balls will become soft after cooking for a long time and affect the taste, it is best to wait for the rice cakes to soften before putting fish cakes. At this time, the water seems to be very little, no need to add.
7. Add hot sauce and sauce. I put in a bag of hot sauce that I saw before, because rice cakes are more spicy. The corresponding salt should be added less. I put less sauce, about one tablespoon, too much sauce is too sweet. There is another problem here. I once ate very sweet fried rice cakes outside. It was really not delicious. The more I ate, the more I drank. So I no longer put sugar, the sweetness in the hot sauce and sauce is enough. If you like sweet and spicy food, you can put sugar on your own. It is recommended to be cautious.
8. After adding seasoning, change to low heat and simmer. During this period, use a spoon to stir around the bottom of the pot to avoid sticking to the bottom. Do not overturn it, which will make the rice cakes ugly. Wait until the soup is almost harvested and left at the bottom. If the rice cakes are beginning to soften their heads, there is still a lot of water, and the soup is still sticky alive, that means there is more water, just collect the juice from the fire. Serve it out and enjoy it 😊
Tips:1. The materials should not be too rigid. It is best to use Korean chili sauce. If you use garlic chili sauce, add some sugar to it and put less or no fish cakes, but the taste is definitely not the same as Korean.
2. You can add noodles, instant noodles or ramen noodles. After the noodles are cooked, drain them. Then put it in the ready-made rice cake, you don't need to cook it together.
