Goongjoong Ddukbokki (Rice Cake Stir-fry with Soy Sauce)

Ttoekbokki 辣炒年糕 is a popular Korean snack which is red and spicy. Not when I tried out this recipe, then I found out that this Goongjoong Ddukbokki had a longer history and was once a dish served in the royal court! You can read out more on the history of this dish in Wiki :D The Goongjoong Ddukbokki tasted sweet and savoury unlike the spicy version one which is definitely more kids friendly :D 


Cooked rice cake toss in soy sauce seasoning

Marinated beef slices

Loads of greens and mushrooms
