korean spicy stir fried rice cakes

mar 7, 2023 (tue).............wanna used up remaining korean kimchi in my fridge coz it smells even though i put it in a zip lock bag

benchmark video (you tuber wecook123) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHwVOXb7ixA

introduction
- it is a very typical popular snack or dish in korea
- but my understanding of korea culinary history is very little............i am not sure what authentic spicy stir fried rice cakes should be
- watched several you tube video...............above video coming from a korean guy...............guess much trust worthy................one commonly cooked version (spicy) and one ancient days version (non spicy)

main ingredients
- korean rice cakes (tubular shape)
- kimchi
- korean flat fish cake (i replaced by japanese style tubular fish cake)
- green onion
- egg (but i skip it)
- korean chili powder
- korean chili paste
- soy sauce
- sugar
- garlic mesh (optional)

steps
1. soak the fridge/ frozen rice cakes and fish cakes into water for 15-20 mins

2. strain rice cakes.............slice fish cakes.............chop green onion.............diced/ mesh garlic............optional to add diced shallot

3. pan fried rice cake till slightly soft

4. add in garlic and shallot

5. add fish cakes

6. add korean chili powder and paste (portion according to your preference)

7. add water little by little to stew............later add soy sauce, sugar

8. add in kimchi and continue to stew until rice cakes are soft and the sauce almost dried up

9. last add green onion..............done


taste
-right seasoning.............enough spiciness for me.............dimensional flavor (spicy, sweet, savory) of course contributed by the korean chili powder packed in 'very spicy korean instant noodle'..........lots of msg.............lol
-rice cakes soft but little chewy...........nice texture
-sauce is thick (not watery)


areas of improvement
-very rare to nail it in 1st attempt
