Step 1
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a large skillet over high heat. Add rice cakes and fish cakes, stir gently.
Step 2
Once rice cakes float and soften (~3 min), stir in gochujang, minced garlic, and gochugaru until fully combined.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Simmer 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and coats the rice cakes.
Step 4
Fold in green onion pieces. Taste and adjust gochujang / salt as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Step 5
While tteokbokki simmers, assemble gimbap: spread rice on nori, add thin strips of cucumber, carrot & kimchi, roll tightly, slice into 6 pieces.
Step 6
Serve hot tteokbokki alongside gimbap rolls and a small bowl of kimchi. Drizzle extra gochujang sauce on the side for dipping.
