Vegan Rosé Tteokbokki

Vegan Rosé Tteokbokki is an easy and quick way to cook your Korean rice cakes. With a creamy, cheesy sauce made from plant-based ingredients.

Tteokbokki (Korean Rice Cakes)

Tteokbokki are Korean rice cakes – one of the most popular Korean street food options. It has a chewy, addicting texture and can absorb the spicy, sweet sauce. It can be found at most Asian supermarkets in both fresh and frozen forms:

• If fresh: rinse under cold water and cook in the broth for 10 minutes.
• If frozen: rinse under cold water and soak in cold water for 10 minutes before putting in the broth.

If you cannot access Tteokbokki, you can make it using rice paper sheets, view how here!

What are Rosé Tteokbokki?

Rosé Tteokbokki are Korean rice cakes with a creamy pink sauce, a popular food trend in Korea. This idea is originated from Rosé Pasta, which uses cream and tomato sauce to make a pink beautiful sauce. We are putting a Korean & vegan twist on this trend and use gochujang in place of tomato sauce and plant milk instead of cream sauce. I also added nutritional yeast for the extra cheesy flavors, yum!

I love this sauce as it is creamy, cheesy and milder in spice. It's perfect for people who don't like too much spicy flavors but love the textures of Korean rice cakes.

Ingredients for Rosé Tteokbokki

To make the Rosé sauce, we are using:

• Gochujang (Korean chili pepper paste)
• Gochugaru (Korean chili pepper flakes)
• Soy sauce: use tamari for gluten-free
• Plant milk: you can use soy, oat or almond milk. Coconut milk shouldn't be used as it has a strong taste that can overwhelm the sauce
• Nutritional yeast: for the added nutritional benefits and that cheesy taste!
