Korean Royal Court Rice Cake Recipe: GungJung Tteokbokki (궁중 떡볶이) – Modern Pepper #36

TteokBokki (aka Rice Cake) is commonly known as the Spicy Rice Cake dish.  BUT the original TteokBokki dish is GungJung TteokBokki (궁중떡볶이).  It is a “fancy” version of the Spicy Cake TteokBokki.  Unlike the spicy version, GungJung TteokBokki does not use spicy sauce or GoChuJang (Korean Red Pepper Paste).  Instead, it uses BulGoGi or Galbi, hence the “fancy” version.  Hundreds of years ago, this dish was an upscale gourmet dish that was served only to those individuals that can dine at the Korean Royal Palace/Court, hence the name Royal-Court TteokBokki. 

I am super excited to share this recipe with you!  Think of this dish as Non-Spicy Korean Gnocchi Dish w/ BulGoGi or GalBi.  And of course, I provide alternative recipe substitution options for different proteins and also for my vegan friends.
