World-Famous Tteokbokki: Make It Even Better with Empress Korea!
Spicy and sweet, Korean tteokbokki is a beloved snack worldwide.
However, when making it at home, have you ever felt like something was missing?
The secret lies in small differences in ingredients and cooking methods.
Many people focus only on the gochujang (red chili paste) when making tteokbokki, often using plain water.
But the real depth of flavor comes from broth.
In Korea, rich broths made from anchovies, seafood, or beef bones are the base of many dishes.
Empress Korea’s broth coin products make it easy to add this rich flavor at home.
Just one broth coin adds umami and a deep savory note, giving your tteokbokki a restaurant-quality taste.
Of course, the star ingredient is gochujang.
Good gochujang is more than just spicy—it balances sweetness, saltiness, and umami from fermentation.
The gochujang brands available at Empress Korea each have their unique characteristics and are perfect for various Korean dishes.
