Tteokbokki Sauce

Obviously everyone’s heat tolerance is different. Mine is admittedly pretty low, so for me- it cleared out my sinuses, and had my tongue tinglin’ But, overall, great taste. Definitely follow the direction on the bottle (5 tbsp + 3/4 c of water) and simmer the rice cakes until the sauce thickens. I think the negative reviews about there being “chunks” didn’t do this. It definitely needs to be diluted. Another note: like many of the other reviews, there doesn’t appear to be a safety seal on these jars. I think that’s just how they’re manufactured. If that’s a big concern to you, don’t order it.

I've tried a bunch of different Tteokbokki sauces on Amazon. This one by Surasang is one of my favorite. Great level of spiciness (매운 음식을 좋아해요). The directions are all in Korean. For each serving I do the following: 50 g sauce (about 2 Tablespoons) 110 g rice cake (short round rice sticks work the best) 100 ml water (about 1/2 cup) Just throw it all together, bring to a rolling boil and cook for like 10 minutes on Medium until the sauce thickens and the rice sticks get nice and plump. When it's done, the sauce sticks really well to the rice cakes. Some other Tteokbokki sauces are really thin and don't adhere well. This one is great. Good stuff.

I don't have any experience with making Tteokbokki, but this looked excellent. It is good, but not quite as good as other Tteokgokki that I have tasted.

My niece and I love this sauce, we put it in soups and with dumplings

I've gotten addicted to rice cakes and had been improvising sauce for them. Pretty good, but this is better. It seemed a bit overpriced until I figured out it takes well to dilution, so a tablespoon will make a satisfying sauce. Will buy again.

It’s spicier than what I’m used to and I don’t care for the “bits” in the sauce. I like a smooth sauce. Just my preference, yours may be different. I advise for you to go to your local Asian market and get it there, probably cheaper.

I love this product the taste is so good very tasty it’s give more flavor to the food I really do recommend this product to anyone.

Product exploded and had leaked on to the outside of the outside of the package, ruining both the sauce and the other item in the shipment. If you can just go to an Asian market. It'll probably taste better and won't make your front stoop look like a crime scene.
