"You don't need to wait for the water to boil, just put the tteokbokki directly into a teflon pan filled with water," he said.

"If you want it to smell fragrant, slice it thin. If you want to taste the flavor, slice it thick. Add onions to enhance the taste, and cabbage to add a crunchy sensation. Most Korean foods use gochujang," Chef Jun continued.
