Resep: Cheese Tteokbokki Carbonara Recipe

This is definitely not an authentic Korean dish, but let's say fusion. Inspired by places that serve cheese tteokbokki. I personally prefer the original tteokbokki with gochujang as the base for the sauce, but it's worth to try though. When it comes to white sauce and cheese, please use good cheese because it matters, try sharp cheddar, parmesan, swiss, emmental, and mozzarella for stringy texture on top. This weekend my sister brought me some Butterkäse (my favorite cheese from Germany, along with Asiago cheese from Italy), so I used it instead of mozzarella.

It's not that hard to find rice cakes (garaetteok) here in Jakarta, usually in Korean Grocery Stores, such as Mu Gung Hwa. I also found some at larger supermarket, Grand Lucky SCBD, even Lottemart in Gandaria City made the fresh one.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice cakes / garaetteok
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 beef / chicken hotdog, sliced
• 2-3 slices bacon  or beef bacon (add 1 tbsp of butter, if using beef bacon)
• 1/4 cup cheese, I used egmont, it goes well with cheddar and parmesan
• 1/4 cup any of your favorite melted cheese, mozzarella is great, I used 2 slices of Butterkäse
• salt and pepper to taste
