Please report back! I love tteokbokki but haven't found a decent one in a pot yet.

Actually on that subject, I cook a bit and want to make tteokbokki but I've never yet been able to find the Korean flat fishcakes. Anyone got a source for these?

Think I've tried most the pots before and with the exception of the Jah Jann ones they are generally fine. I did buy a pack of the tteok rice sticks, which I split in to 3 and froze, but keep being either lazy else treating it as a 'I need a substantial snack' item.

BTW I take it you want the fishcakes for a specific version ? I know one of my local Asian supermarkets sells them as I saw them yesterday. Basic tteokbokki is the rice sticks in a gochujang based sauce.

The first time I had 'rice cakes' was in South Korea. 20 of us were out there for two months on an indoctrination 'training' course for LG Electronics. After a couple of weeks many of them were yearning for some British food which usually meant a trip to McDonalds (we called it the American Embassy )

Walking past all the street food traders there was quite a long Queue at a Tteokbokki vendor frantically stirring away at a massive pan of what one of the group thought was a sausage stew - he and a few others were very disappointed

Here's a recipe using fish cakes in it................




I've probably posted these before - Instant pot with both rice cakes and noodles

Works well together as rice cakes can be a bit boring texture wise.

Edit: The instructions suggest to microwave. They are very chewy if you just pour boiling water in the pot so I do them on their own for 5 minutes, pour off the water then put the noodles and soup base in and do them again.

The video dickymint posted is pretty much what I've had in my local Korean restaurant:

A bit late to the game in this thread, but maybe growing up in a certain era my tastes have associated this type of product with Pot Noodles.

Yeah I know they’re ste, but it’s nice ste.

Tried a few posher noodles in a pot recently, and I just can’t seem to get past that I prefer Pot Noodles.

Got cabbage and some spring onions, might have to head back to the Asian supermarket to get the fish cake - do fancy trying that.

My local Asian market doesn't stock them, hopefully you have better luck - someone posted a link above if you strike out as well though!

I spotted these at Sing-Kee in Leeds today, I've only noticed them online at inflated prices previously...



A bit of a lazy tea...



Maybe I've built up my tolerance a bit since the 2x ones but they didn't feel quite as synthetically hot due to unpleasant extract. They still made my eyes water and my nose run but you're buying them.for that rather than the complex layers of flavour

Any thoughts on Nong Fern Thai Supermarket (Vicar Lane)? Probably much easier parking nearby.

I haven't been in but I've wandered past it a lot of times and then gone into Taste the Orient, a friend with a Thai friend said that it can be quite expensive and that the majority of the items in there are available a few doors down for less but I keep meaning to go in and see what kind of stuff they have.

I did walk past once and saw a young child systematically licking the inside of the window from behind the counter though, I'm not sure if that's a sign of good flavours in the air or a cause for concern.

avoid seriously just avoid



the most horrendous noodles ive ever eaten, yes the broth is spicy but it has really no flavour to speak of and the noodles are just wrong!

I'm sorry but you'll have to go through the ordeal again due to the distinct lack of a photo . . .
