Tteokbokki is one of the most popular and well-known Korean street foods, and for good reason. It’s sweet, spicy, and satisfying — everything you need in a late-night craving. Simmer frozen Korean rice cakes in the peppery broth until chewy and tender. Use the lid to trap steam in the dish, fully cooking the rice cakes and thickening the sauce at the same time. The microwave makes this craveable dish just a little too easy to make!

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
