Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil water in a large skillet or shallow pot over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add tteokbokki and ramen noodles, breaking up the noodle cakes as they soften, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in gochujang, sugar, and soy sauce until fully mixed and no lumps remain.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the rice cakes.

  5. Step 5

    Top with chopped green onion and a pinch of sesame seeds.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately in bowls; the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
