Technique to learn

Starch-thickened Simmering

Simmering rice cakes directly in liquid releases their natural surface starches, creating a silky sauce that coats every ingredient.

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and beef stock until smooth.

Step 2: Heat the sesame oil in a wide, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Add the sliced beef and sear for 2 minutes until browned around the edges.

Step 4: Pour in the prepared stock mixture and bring to a steady simmer.

Step 5: Drain the rice cakes and stir them into the skillet, reducing heat to medium.

Step 6: Simmer uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the sauce thickens and rice cakes become soft.

Step 7: Fold in the scallion pieces during the last 2 minutes of cooking until tender-crisp.

Step 8: Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve warm directly from the skillet.

Cooking tips

If the sauce thickens before the rice cakes are soft, splash in 2 tablespoons of water or beef stock.
Stir constantly near the end of cooking so the starch from the rice cakes does not scorch on the bottom.
