'It's more comforting than watching anime while wearing stretchy pants.'
Ever since the world turned upside down, I’ve been doubling down on comfort. I’m only human! I wear the same big baggy dress every other day, I only wear pants with elastic waistbands , and I spend most of my time sprawled on my couch or my bed. I’m watching not one butanimes right now, which is like the TV equivalent of hoarding toilet paper. And I’m eating only the chewiest, squishiest food, food as familiar and comforting as the softest pillow on my bed and with the same spring-loaded bounce.
The tteokbokki starts with a stock made of dried anchovies, onions, dasima , and smashed garlic. Once everything has simmered together, you strain out the solids and plop some fish cakes into the broth so that they warm through and soak in all that deeply fishy flavor. Then you make a vibrant red sauce with the trinity of Korean cooking:Next is the best part, IMHO: the rice cakes.
After a few minutes, slip in some halved bok choy and chopped scallions, cooking them down so they’re somewhat wilted but still crunchy. Slide the tteokbokki onto a platter and finish with half-moons of boiled eggs , toasted sesame seeds, and more scallions. Then my husband and I just eat directly from the platter, no plates needed. I like to eat in increasing order of chewiness first the egg, then the rice cake, and finally the fish ball, and then do it all over again.It’s impossible to resist the flavor-texture combo of this supremely satisfying Korean snack food—a riffable dish found as often in street food stalls as in home kitchens.
