Step 1
Bring 1.5 cups water to a boil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Stir gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar into the boiling water until smooth.
Step 3
Add frozen rice cakes and stir constantly for 4 minutes until they soften and float.
Step 4
Crack eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for 2 minutes without stirring — yolks should still jiggle.
Step 5
Scatter scallions over the top. Stir once to combine, keeping eggs mostly intact.
Step 6
Divide between two bowls. Drizzle any sauce from the skillet over top. Serve immediately.
