It's been raining continuously, and I thought about making pajeon, but since I had a lot of vegetables, I decided to try making Gungjung Tteokbokki, a traditional Korean dish.

1. First, the ingredients. You'll need rice cakes (for tteokbokki). Traditionally, beef is added, but I omitted it due to budget constraints. Slice shiitake mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and red chili peppers into thick juliennes.



2. Blanch the rice cakes quickly in boiling water. Simple, right?



3. While the rice cakes are boiling, prepare the sauce with soy sauce, sugar, grated garlic, sesame oil, and pepper.



4. Briefly stir-fry the vegetables, then mix them with the rice cakes and sauce, using a flick of the wrist.



5. Gungjung Tteokbokki is complete.



6. It's chewy and not too spicy, so it's easy for anyone to eat.
