Dduk Bok Gi is a Korean dish made from rice cakes, fish cakes, pepper paste, and meat. It can be eaten by itself as a whole dinner, or you can add noodles for a completely new taste. Dduk Bok Gi is widely popular in Korea and is eaten by people of all ages. Here is a simple recipe on how to make this delicious dish that will not only impress your friends, but impress yourself as well. To make Dduk Bok Gi, you will need a pack of rice cakes(any shape is fine, but I prefer the smaller, oval shaped pieces of rice cake as you get more flavor per bite), red pepper paste, fishcake, meat of your choice(koreans tend to use either beef, sausage, or spam), and onions.
1) First, get a large bowl of room temperature water and put a pack of rice cakes in the bowl. This process is so that the rice cakes soak up a bit of water and make it a bit softer.
2) While the rice cakes are sitting in the water, get a large pot or pan and fill it with water. Put it on your stove and let it heat on high. When the water starts simmering, put in two to three large spoonfuls of red pepper paste. If you think that you can handle more spice than the average person, don't be afraid to add in another spoonful of red pepper paste.
3) Next, add in the meat. For this recipe, we will use spam. Cut the spam into bit size, rectangular pieces and put it in along with the rice cakes that have been sitting in the water. You don't have to use all the spam in the can, but just a good amount. You can also add in the fish cakes at this time too. You can make the fish cakes bite size too or keep them big.
4) When all the ingredients are in the pan, lower the heat slightly to about medium high and stir until all the ingredients are mixed together well. Cover it with a lid for a couple of minutes so that some of the water can evaporate and the sauce can thicken a bit.
5) After the sauce has thickened, cut your onion into fairly small pieces and put them in. We put in the onions last because we only want them to cook a bit and soak up the sauce.
6) This step is optional, but there is also a choice of adding in noodles to add to the experience of eating Dduk Gok Gi. To do this, simply grab one of those ramen packs (for example, Nong Shin Shin Ramen), take out the ramen, cook it a little bit in boiling water(just to soften the noodles), and put it in. Continue to stir the Dduk Bok Gi until the noodles are fully cooked and it has taken in a good amount of sauce.
7) Now all you have to do is simply serve it to your guests!
Dduk Bok Gi is a truly delicious dish that not only gives you a taste of what Korea is like, but also broadens your horizons on what kinds of food are out there. You can also teach your friends, family, and colleagues how to make this delicious dish.
