Remove the frozen tteokbokki from packaging and cook in boiling water for 8-10 minutes until the rice cakes are soft and chewy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the whole black pepper sauce coats evenly. The dish is ready when the sauce thickens and the rice cakes have a tender texture.

Add cheese slices during the last 2 minutes of cooking for a creamy Korean-style cheese tteokbokki. You can also crack an egg into the pan and stir it in, or add instant ramen noodles to make rabokki. Many customers at Korean supermarket Madrid enjoy adding sliced scallions and sesame seeds as garnish for extra flavor.

This product pairs excellently with pickled radish (danmuji) to balance the spicy heat, or serve alongside Korean fried chicken for a complete meal. The whole black pepper flavor also complements steamed white rice if you prefer a milder combination. Traditional Korean recipe enthusiasts often enjoy it with cold barley tea or milk to cool the palate.

Keep this frozen product in your freezer until ready to cook, and it serves 3 people as indicated on the packaging. Once cooked, consume immediately for the best texture as the rice cakes become hard when cooled. Popular at Asian market Porto and other K-Food Europe locations, this 560g package provides a satisfying portion for sharing or multiple servings.
