Recipe: Pork belly tteok

I love Korean food like wow and love to share the obsession with my friends. This homely comfort food dish is warm and delicious, you can use just about any protein and vegetable combination but this is one of my favourites.

You can buy Korean rice cakes (tteok 떡) at most Asian supermarkets, they store in the freezer for months so you can buy up and use them whenever you like.




Pork Belly Tteok


200g sliced pork belly
500g (or 1 packet) tube style rice cakes
4 eggs (or 1 per serving)
2 tbspns gochujangg
2 tbspns tomato puree
2 tbspns white sugar
2 cups stock (chicken or vegetable)
2 sticks of celery
1 capsicum
4 spring onions (scallions)
1 tbspn minced ginger
2 tbspns sesame oil


Method



  • Before starting the main dish boil the eggs to your preferred doneness
  • Dice the celery and capsicum then heat the sesame oil in a wok or large saucepan
  • Add the celery and sweat until transparent, then add the capsicum and continue to stir fry
  • Once the capsicum is soft add the pork belly and fry all items until the pork is slightly brown
  • Add the ginger and stir to coat all the vegetables then add the rice cakes
  • Combine the wet ingredients (stock, tomato, gochujangg) in a jug until a consistent texture and colour
  • Add the liquid and the eggs to the saucepan and simmer to reduce
  • Add the sugar and scallions once reduced, leave some scallions for garnish
  • Serve with cold Asian beer

    Thank you so much for sharing about such a homely comfort. Yes this dish is warm and delicious too. I have tried it. Sure I will try again. Next time I want to use just about any protein and vegetable combination. This is one of my favorites too. Your submit has affected the way I see food. Thank you for everything you've done and I hope you've had a wonderful future in cooking. And also here I must say that this is such amazingly perfect timing; I was thinking how much I REALLY wanted to try out a delicious one with pork. Thanks so much for posting! I love how simple and easy it looks. Actually I have been so tired with my paper work with custom essay writing service. At that time I got to know about this recipe. Thank you
