A Tteokbokki Lover's Choice: My New Favorite!
떡볶이 (spicy rice cakes) is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite food.
Back when I was a newlywed, I ate so much tteokbokki that even my husband, who usually eats anything, begged me to stop...
And because I enjoyed it so much, I gained weight easily. Thankfully, I used to lose it just as easily, but as I got older, dieting became too difficult, so I gradually distanced myself from tteokbokki.
After holding back for so long, if the tteokbokki wasn't delicious, I would actually get angry! That's why I was so excited that I tried Sam-Nam-Mae (Three Siblings) Tteokbokki for the first time, and...
It's the best tteokbokki of my life!
I ended up eating it a whopping three times in one week.
I first had it last week.
The reason I've been eating it so often is... even though I've been holding back because of my diet,
I also couldn't eat it often because my child can't handle spicy food.
Recently, my child seems to want to eat spicy food since they've gotten older,
but they are still a 'maepjjil' (someone who is sensitive to spice) ^^;;;
They used to wash even foods that we considered not spicy at all in water before eating them.
But this tteokbokki was the first one they ate without rinsing it in water. My husband and I were so amazed!
That's not to say it's bland at all; it has a smoothly spicy flavor!
Today is the last weekday lunch before the pre-semester holiday, so I asked, "What do you want to eat at home?" and they shouted, "Tteokbokki!" So, this is the third time I'm eating this tteokbokki in a week.
Ate it again today!
Sam-Nam-Mae Tteokbokki Meal Kit
Basic Sam-Nam-Mae Tteokbokki Meal Kit Contents:
1. Fresh Wheat Rice Cakes 300g *2
2. Homemade Seasoned Broth 450g *2
3. Original Busan Fish Cakes
* There's also a video!
In this video, I spent a lot of time cooking and filming in a Staub pot.
Plus, I added a whole serving of ramen noodles and a lot of cheese out of greed, so instead of Sam-Nam-Mae's signature soupy tteokbokki, it became thick and sticky ^^;;
But it was so delicious in its own way, so I'm sharing the recipe.
My Own Sam-Nam-Mae Tteokbokki Recipe
* It's really delicious even if you just eat it as is from the meal kit.
1. Prepare any leftover vegetables you have at home and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Shake the broth well and pour it in.
No need to worry about how much water to add with the broth. This broth is all you need!
3. Add the vegetables and chewy fresh wheat rice cakes and bring to a boil.
4. Add ramen noodles (to your liking).
Adding a whole serving of ramen made it even thicker.
5. Add fish cakes and green onions and finish.
6. Add sliced mozzarella cheese.
This natural cheese is really savory and delicious!
7. Close the lid and melt the cheese, then transfer to a plate.
(I added more cheese and melted it again)
8. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
I added Grana Padano cheese again. It enhanced the flavor and looked great! But it's delicious enough even if you just eat it as is!
It's really delicious!
Advantages of Sam-Nam-Mae Tteokbokki That I Experienced Myself:
The Rice Cakes Are Different
Whenever I bought wheat rice cake tteokbokki meal kits, the rice cakes were hard, and I just assumed that's how they were supposed to be. This is the first time I've had such soft, fresh wheat rice cakes in a meal kit. The rice cakes are really delicious.
Spice That's Easy on the Stomach
I really love spicy food, but my stomach has become sensitive as I've gotten older, so I can't eat it well. But this was easy on my stomach.
The secret is the homemade seasoned broth with plenty of Korean radish.
It's a miraculous tteokbokki that even my spice-sensitive daughter ate without rinsing it in water for the first time.
Origin & Quality of Ingredients
I carefully check the origin and ingredients, so I always look at the fish cake's surimi content when I buy it.
Sam-Nam-Mae Tteokbokki's fish cakes also have a high surimi content, so they're delicious.
The natural cheese I bought together was also really savory and delicious!
Highly recommend Sam-Nam-Mae Tteokbokki, which I've eaten three times with my child since last week!
Plus, they have discounts on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so go check it out quickly :)
I'm going to go buy it again!
