Ingredients

3/4 lb (320 g) Korean rice cakes for tteokbokki or wheat cakes (mil-tteok)
1/2 small onion thinly sliced
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 lb (113 g) cocktail sausage roughly scored
2 sheets Korean fish cake diced
4 tbsp chopped green onion to garnish, optional

For Creamy Rose Sauce

1 tbsp cooking oil
2 tbsp Korean chili paste (gochujang)
1 cup (240 ml) water
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder optional
3/4 cup (160 ml) heavy cream or whipping cream
1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and stir-fry until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add sausage and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Add gochujang and cook for another 1 minute. Pour in water and add fish cake, ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, and chicken bouillon powder (if using). Stir them well.
Add the rice cakes (tteok) and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
Add cream and milk, stirring everything well. Simmer for 4-5 minutes over medium-low heat until the rice cakes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Add cheese, if using, to the sauce and stir well.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with green onion. Serve warm. The sauce will thicken more as it sits.
