Korean Rice Cake Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the shiitakes, garlic, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and the sugar in a large bowl. Add the beef and toss to coat well; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the rice cakes and cook, stirring to prevent sticking, until softened, about 1 minute. Drain and transfer to a large bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the rice cakes.
• Add the shiitakes and beef to the empty skillet and cook, undisturbed, until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over to finish cooking the other side, about 1 more minute.
• Return the vegetables and rice cakes to the skillet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Soak tteok in cold water to cover while preparing the other ingredients, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Combine beef with soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and garlic.
• Heat a wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add beef mixture and stir-fry just until lightly browned, 1 minute. Add onion, scallions, and cabbage, if using, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add gochujang and mix. Add about 1/3 cup water, remaining teaspoon sesame oil, sugar and tteok. Mix and let simmer until sauce is thick and tteok is soft, adding water a little at a time as needed. Adjust seasonings with sugar and gochujang.
• Mix in scallions and serve hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
