Ingredients
Method
- Cook the Tteokbokki noodles according to the manufacturer's instructions, drain over a deep bowl, and keep aside* see note.
- Cut the sausages into slices about one centimeter thick (0.4 Inch).
- Heat oil in a pan or wok, add the sausages, and fry them until seared on all sides. Remove from the pan, and set aside. Don't panic about the oil turning red -it will disappear later.
- Add onion and sugar to the pan and fry on a medium heat until the onion begins to brown,
- Add white cabbage, salt, pepper, and cumin, and continue to fry while stirring occasionally. Lower the heat and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the cabbage shrinks and softens.
- Add the sauerkraut, mix well, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Add the fried Tteokbokki, return the sausages to the pan, and fry for a minute or two.
For Serving
- Divide into portions, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- The caraway seeds blend wonderfully with the cabbage. In addition to taste, they absorb the gases of the cabbage 😉
- Tip: After Tteokbokki is cooked, strain it over a bowl and keep it aside: In case the Tteokbokki have stuck to each other - pour the cooking water in the bowl over them (while the Tteokbokki is still in the colander) and then add them to the sauce.
You can get the Tteokbokki in stores specializing in Asian products.
