Eating Korean Food in Karachi | Tteokbokki + Rabokki HD

Tteokbokki is a popular Korean dish and the best way to describe it would be "spicy Korean rice cakes". I went to a Korean Restaurant in Karachi to eat Korean food but was not able to find Tteokbokki which was what I was actually craving so made an attempt to make it myself. Recipes below for rice cakes (dduk/tduk) as well as Vegan Spicy Rice Cake which I kinda turned into Rabokki which just means I added ramen to Tteokbokki , hehe. ENJOY! #Koreanfood #Tteokbokki #spicyricecakes #kimchi RECIPE of DDUK as per Maangchi:Food at Jaen Ko Gae cost: BBD Beef: pkr:1000 Ox Tongue: pkr: 1000 Fried Kimchi with Beef: pkr.900 Traditional Cabbage Kimchi: pkr.300 Ingredients: 2 cups of short grain rice flour ½ ts salt ¾ cup of boiling water if using a microwave, 1 cup of boiling water if using a steamer 1 ts sesame oil* If you want to make your own homemade rice flour, check this out. Directions: Making rice cake with a microwave: Combine the rice flour, salt, and boiling water in a bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap, leaving a small gap to let the steam release. Microwave for 2 minutes. Mix the rice cake dough with a rice scoop or wooden spoon. Re-cover with the plastic wrap and cook for another 2 minutes. Spread ½ ts sesame oil on your cutting board. Put the hot rice cake in the oily spot on the cutting board. Pound it with a pestle for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Making rice cake with a steamer: Combine the rice flour, salt, and boiling water in a bowl. Line a steamer rack with parchment paper. Add the rice cake dough and steam for about 25 minutes over hight heat. Spread ½ ts sesame oil on your cutting board. Put the hot rice cake in the oily spot on the cutting board. Pound it with a pestle for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. The rest of process is the same as the method of using a microwave oven. Prepare the rice cake for ddeokbokki: Cut it into 8 equal pieces, then roll each piece out into a 4 inch long cylinder shaped rice cake. Put ½ ts sesame oil onto your hands and gently rub the rice cakes to coat them in a thin sheen of oil. This will give them a nice flavor and keep them from sticking to each other. Prepare the rice cake for ddeokguk (rice cake soup): Cut it into 2 equal pieces, then roll each piece out into two 10 inch long cylinder shaped rice cakes. Let them cool at room temperature for several hours, then slice diagonally into thin discs. Use right away, or put in a plastic bag and freeze for later use. This amount is for 1 serving of ddeokguk, so if you want to make two bowls of soup, make two batches.
