TteokBokKi 떡볶이

[cyndercindy]

@powerplantop wow, that looks so good! at the asian market near my house they are out of the stick rice cake, but the have those circular ones... is that okay to use? its call hime rice cake... anyways thank you for making this! now i can have spicy rice cake WITH RAMEN!

[powerplantop]

@cyndercindy Yes they will work

[monainsa]

wow... you're better than me. 

[powerplantop]

@monainsa Thank you. My wife loves it when I make this.

[ElmoGrandTheft123]

omg ur so awesome! not to be invasive but do you have a korean wife?

[xx0ink]

how many people is this for?

[powerplantop]

@xx0ink If its a meal 4 to 6. As a snack 8 to 10.

[509michellekim]

Just go to finch or christie st. There are korean grocery markets :) you can find all ingredients there♥

[Jayuurhteex3]

That. Looks. Delicious! My mouth is watering *__*

[marakia78]

I have a question does Odeng taste good becuase I want to make dukbokki but if I don't like it I don't want the food to go to waste

[powerplantop]

@marakia78 I like Odeng but you can leave it out to make sure. The dish will be fine without it.

[marakia78]

@powerplantop Thanks :) I was worried the dish would be bland without it

[erinmin712]

@marakia78 odeng is DELICIOUS. OMNOMNOMNOM.

[marakia78]

@erinmin712 LOL Thanks :D but unfortunately I live in Toronto and I can't find a store that sells rice cakes near my house :(

[WaterBearer2008]

Why would you come to America expecting it to be dominated with Korean restaurants? America = predominantly American food. Florida actually has great food.

[oboerjh]

This is the best recipe- it's perfect tutorial, forever~~!!! :)

[powerplantop]

@oboerjh Thank you!

[joklangpwns]

Looks good, but you pronounce Tteokbokki wrong s:

sounds like you say "dark-bokki"

[dododl3]

looks really good ,,thanks

[setter132000]

You rock!

[powerplantop]

@setter132000 Thank you!

[MyAsphodel]

떡볶이는 떡뽁이 인데...

떡볶이 요리를 만들어 드시는듯...

[themagicalfilipino]

thank you, i have been craving this! yay i can make it now :D

[powerplantop]

@themagicalfilipino Thank you for the nice comment!

[missjillicious]

I'm gonna try this later! Thanks for the tutorial :D

[theramenninja]

why do i have to soak the ddokbokki?

[powerplantop]

@theramenninja If you have fresh ones you don't have to. If you have the frozen ones you soak them so they are not dry.

[theramenninja]

@powerplantop hey, thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions... you're really great :)

[powerplantop]

@theramenninja No problem. I have had a lot of people help me learn to cook Korean food.

[eviljaylee]

nice im korean...make me one xD

[GouldBach]

Man I thought you were a Korean!

Where did you learn how to make it?



[eviljaylee]

@GouldBach really? he dosent sound like korea at ALL..

he sound like large white guy...(fat) lol

[daaniellechristine]

I have a really hard time finding those rice cakes. They are always sliced at the Asian supermarket I go to.

[powerplantop]

@daaniellechristine The sliced ones will also work. They do have a diferent texture but will work.

[LadySilverWolfe]

ya went there again today and they dont have it. boo hiss!

[LadySilverWolfe]

wow!!! you use a TON of pepper paste and pepper powder! you must be on fire after eating that!!!!! but looks delish!!! I am having a hard time finding eomuk (fish cake) in my asian mart. they either dont carry it, or have no idea what im asking for! boo hiss!

[powerplantop]

@LadySilverWolfe It is spicy! Most of the small markets have it in the frezzer.

[powerplantop]

@blogger0ellow Thank you!



[dhwlrqlrqod]

Just how my mama makes it! :) Except for the ketchup, I'll try some with it. Now I'm craving some! I'll ask my mom to make 떡볶이 today :)

[powerplantop]

@dhwlrqlrqod Thank you!

[RobotChick1000]

Everyone makes it different! So I'm unsure of what to use...do we have to use anchovies and fish cakes and ketchup?

[powerplantop]

@RobotChick1000 Like you said everyone makes it different. If you don't like or don't have something leave it out.

[amino1026]

Perfect recipe!!! u r better than me! and I'm Korean lol

u r good at Korean! perfect pronunciation!! "ddukbokki" "go chut ga ru"

[powerplantop]

@amino1026 Thank you!.

[juheechoiii]

Finally, ketchup in the ingredient!!!! :D

[rlaeodnjsdmsWKddla]

Awesome!

[lalaperson99]

I WANT THIS. im like craving for it since last year D: HUHUHU I DONT KNOW where there's a korean restaurant in the philippines. -____- plus i dont know where to buy the ingredients. UGH. im getting hungry

[xBobaFetish]

Your way of making it looks really good!

[powerplantop]

@xBobaFetish Thank you!

[achiqueasilah]

what was the thing that u put into the sauce after the brown sugar?

[powerplantop]

@achiqueasilah Korean red pepper flakes.

[achiqueasilah]

what was the thing that u put into the sauce after the brown sugar?

[achiqueasilah]

what was the thing that u put after the brown sugar in the sauce??

[kgh601]

that looks so goooooooooooooooooooood!!! you just made me so hungry

[jazzyjae16]

i'm impressed.

[ilyMELANI]

omg you're white :'D

[jesselove37]

I crave for tteokbokki soo bad, i watch this video every night. i'm in the middle of boring town in Florida where we have terrible food and stupid politicians, and the worst - no korean restaurant. Can't wait to school be over, so i can eat tteokbokki like hell in Korea.

[powerplantop]

@jesselove37 I wish I could send you some. Where I am at now I can not get the stuff to make it so I am also without.

[syaq0502]

@jesselove37 i can eat spicy food

[jesselove37]

wow dude... u have the exact same recipe as mine!

[powerplantop]

@jesselove37 That is cool!

[MrIheartkpop]

I know about royal tteokbokki, but that's different. This is tteokbokki. SPICY rice cake.

[MrIheartkpop]

@powerplantop WELL, I don't think back in the day Korea had ketchup now did they? NO ONE ELSE except for you (that I know of) put ketchup in tteokbokki. I hope that tteokbokki tasted good, haha

[powerplantop]

@MrIheartkpop If you go back far enough the rice cakes were not even spicy. Do a search for Royal tteokbokki.

[MrIheartkpop]

Ketchup?!?!?!?!?! THIS AIN't tteokbokki! D:-

[powerplantop]

@MrIheartkpop I guess the Korean cooking blogs I was reading got it all wrong. The blogs were from Korean people living in Korean but since your the expert I guess they were wrong....

[KimThanhSmiles]

lol you used ketchup?!

[powerplantop]

@KimThanhSmiles Yep, actually got the idea from a korean cooking blog.

[jajangmyunlove4121]

Did u ever went to korea??

[powerplantop]

@jajangmyunlove4121 I have been to Korea several times.

[JosKiddin]

Labokki:) lamon=korean

[gyqz]

[jennidavirocks]

[sweetlvbabe]

[myzuaher]

[powerplantop]

@myzuaher I think it was raining that day and this was filmed in a travel trailer.

[tokki98]

Definitely looks good!

[powerplantop]

[powerplantop]

@mukatsukuful Thank you. I was very happy with how it turned out.

[sweetsixteenism]

I wish I can cook like you. Great job.

[Leland14x]

Nice.. try sugar instead of katchup it makes it alot better

[TheAdorkable]

You've very impressive! Where did you learn to cook Korean food like that? Looks delicious!

[powerplantop]

@TheAdorkable I read some Korean cook books, talked to some good Korean cooks and watched some videos on YT.

[sexaebae]

hahaha im going to try this when time i attempt to make dukbokki.

my mom and my grandmother don't make this not even close to how it is in restaurants and every restaurant makes it different .. its so frustrating... i dont remember when the last time i ate dukbokki and was like wow this shit is good.. and its even sadder because if its made properly .. its one of my favorite dishes :'(

i must try your recipe. i will let u know its of any help! but thank you , i am excited now!

[powerplantop]

@sexaebae Please let me know how it turns out. For it to really turn out good use very fresh ttok. But for most of use that is hard to get.

[izukii]

it looks amazinngggg! :DDD

[kok1able]

Respect~~~~~~~~~~~꾸벅

[jmpb611]

What was the first ingredient that you used for the sauce?  Thanks

[powerplantop]

It is:

Hot pepper paste

Korean: 고추장

Romanized Korean: gochujang

[powerplantop]

Yep!

[lavenderpuppy]

thanks for the tutorial~~~

[UJHssecaJW]

wow, it looks super extraordinarily delicious!

[jayhl77]

Awesome videos. American with a southern drawl making Korean food--classic!

[powerplantop]

Just goes to show you never know what you will find on YT!

[FlavorlessTea]

@jayhl77 using chopsticks too...LOL

[gnachung]

Holy cow. Looks amazingggggggggggg.

[lavender40]

The spicier the better.

[sharonyrose]

Wow~! This is a good recipe to make delicious tteokbokki.

[powerplantop]

Thank you!

[Phaythful]

i tried making this once with just the pepper paste and it was SPICY! i didnt enjoy it much. I'll have to try this and see how it turns out... Though its hard finding those ingredients here.

[PorchDinkey]

Mouth watering... I love that spicy sauce.

[joonsuk88]

Wow dude. You're amazing.

[powerplantop]

joon,

Thank you!

[bernicetan]

Exactly the same I had in the local korean restaurant... you're amazing !

[powerplantop]

bernicetan, Thank you!

[infamousmonster]

So I just made this dukbokki using your step-by-step instructions and all I can say is WOW. I didn't know you can make dukbokki this good at your house. Honestly the best dukbokki I've ever had. Thanks a ton. I'm gonna make this anytime I want dukbokki now, and it's a heckuvalot cheaper to make it from your home, although cleaning is a pain.

[powerplantop]

infamousmonster, I am glad that you liked it. I always hate the clean up.

[infamousmonster]

Damn, can I come over to your house? That is some gourmet dukbokki.

[powerplantop]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[riverofwings]

man! that looks so good! id trade a mcdonald meal for that!!!

[leyna]

is there any substitute to kelp? Thanks!

[powerplantop]

Leyna, you easily just leave it out.

[jungyeonii]

you should add cooking wine to your sauce (mirim)

[powerplantop]

Mirin would be good in this sauce.

[poketrainer69]

i luv dukbaki because my mom adds too much gochujang and my korean mart small amounts are 5.00 rip off

[powerplantop]

This one was kind of spicy but it was so good.

[powerplantop]

bjjvancouver, The stock is made from dried anchovies, shirmp and kelp.

[bjjvancouver]

Is that beef stock? Or chicken?

[powerplantop]

I thought you would like the vegie part!

[jagwio]

That looks great. And there're some veges ;)
