🍽️ How to Make Chicken Tteokbokki

1️⃣ Prep the Ingredients

Soak the rice cakes in cold water to soften.

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt.

2️⃣ Cook the Chicken

Heat a dry pan over high heat and sear the chicken for 2 minutes (without oil).

Lower heat, add cooking oil, and cover with a lid to cook for 15 minutes until juicy and tender.

3️⃣ Stir-fry the Green Onions & Rice Cakes

Add green onions and stir-fry on high heat until slightly charred.

Toss in the rice cakes and pan-fry until crispy. Add more oil if needed.

4️⃣ Mix in the Tteokbokki Sauce

Pour in the prepared sauce and mix well.

Let the sauce caramelize slightly over low heat for 2 minutes.

Cover and let it sit for 1 more minute to absorb all the flavors.

5️⃣ Final Touch – Sweet Mayo Drizzle

Plate the Chicken Tteokbokki and drizzle with Condensed Milk Mayo.

Garnish with sesame seeds or extra green onions for an extra pop of flavor!
