Ji Hye Kim, chef and owner of Miss Kim in Ann Arbor, MI is making tteokboki, a chewy, crispy, spicy, and savory street treat that's extremely popular in Korea. The star of Ji Hye's recipe is Korean rice cakes, which she softens in water and after that fries in a pan with pork stubborn belly and simmers in a sweet and hot gochujang sauce. Paired with soft-boiled eggs and scallions, you'll instantly understand why tteokboki is a hit on Ji Hye's restaurant menu.

I can’t wait to try this …this looks really delicious 🤗🥰
I miss having Tteokbokki in Seoul after a night of drinking so much. But I love everything about this video. Great dish, great presenter / cook.
Awesome! I would love to visit!!
This looks so good.
I LOVE this dish. More people around the world need to try it. You’ll fall in love.
Excited to see Chef Kim get much deserved attention lately!
This is one of my favorite dishes!
looks so delicious!!
That looks so tasty: chewy and spicy, jeeesus
Always interesting to learn more about international dishes.
I made this last week, so good.
Only version I’ve tried is the saucy, anchovy broth type (both from our local Korean restaurant and once homemade). Looking forward to trying this!
Absolutely excellent explanation of the steps in this recipe. I love hearing how each component contributes to the dish! Great recipe 😃
this is a version of oil tteokboki. oil tteokboki is not as common as “regular” tteokboki, but it’s still considered a street food. it can be found in some parts of korea. if it’s too spicy or sweet, you can always alter it. if you don’t want the egg in it or you want it cooked more or less, you can alter that too. not a big deal people.
Well, yes and no – it’s a market food more than a street food (a distinction without difference, perhaps) but if people go to Korea and expect to find this, they’re going to have a VERY hard time finding it because it’s essentially sold in just one neighborhood, and even there, it’s not even the most common kind of tteokpokki.
Tried this for the first time recently. I really liked it, a bit like gnocchi.
I worked at her restaurant for a while and cooked this dish countless times a day. Always hits the spot!
This version looks so good!
I have never had this dish but I’ve seen it on so many channels and it just looks good.
Love the way she explained everything. I’ve had the sauce in the jar before but never knew how to make from scratch. 👍👍👍
