Instructions
Make the gochujang sauce:
In a bowl, combine gochujang, gochugaru (if using), soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic powder and black pepper. Give it a good mix and set aside.
Cook the rice cakes:
If using frozen/refrigerated rice cakes, soak in warm water for a few minutes and drain.
Heat up a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and add in the onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes, until the onion softens.
Add in the cocktail wieners and cook for a few minutes to release their flavor.
Next, add in the gochujang sauce and water. Stir to combine and add in the Korean rice cakes.
Cover with a lid and let it simmer, about 4-5 minutes.
Once the rice cakes are puffy, turn off the heat.
Pour in the heavy cream and give it one final stir to combine.
Garnish with green onions, grated cheese, and/or sesame seeds.
