🛒 Ingredients

✓ 500g halal beef rice cakes (tteok), fresh or frozen
✓ 250g halal lean ground beef
✓ 3 large eggs, boiled and halved
✓ 2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
✓ 1 cup carrots, julienned
✓ 1 green onion, cut into 2-inch pieces
✓ 2 cups low-sodium beef or vegetable broth
✓ 1 tbsp sesame oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, Greek yogurt, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, and white pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.

2. Brown the Beef: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add halal ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Drain excess fat and set beef aside.

3. Blanch the Rice Cakes: If using frozen rice cakes, bring a pot of water to boil and blanch them for 2–3 minutes until they float and soften slightly. If fresh, skip this step. Drain and set aside.

4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes over medium heat until slightly softened. Do not fully cook; they should retain a light crunch.

5. Build the Dish: Add broth and rice cakes to the skillet. Stir gently to combine. Pour the gochujang-yogurt sauce over the mixture and fold in cooked beef. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and cakes absorb flavors.

6. Finish & Serve: Add green onion and remaining 2 tsp sesame oil. Toss well. Divide into bowls and top each with 2 halves of boiled egg. Serve immediately while hot and saucy.
