Greates Love Inspired Deokbokki Recipe

 How many times we have watched a drama and wanted to eat exactly what they were eating?

I know I do it almost all the times. One of those things I often crave, because you can find in almost every single drama and move, is this popular street food. So i decided to start this series about drama inspired recipes with this easy Deokbokki recipe, that you can adapt to your own taste

• 300grs  aprox. 2 cups  of  rice cakes (Deok=떡) 
• 3/4l. aprox. 3 cups of water
• 7 dried anchovies
• 1 medium size carrot 
• 1 small onion
• 1 small zucchini 
• 3 green onions
• 1 tbsp sugar 
• 1 tbsp of garlic (I used garlic powder)
• 4-6 tbsp of hot pepper paste (to taste)
• 1 tbsp of rep pepper flakes (optional)
• 3 hard boiled eggs cut in half (otional)
• You can also add clear noodles, and fishcakes  

Slice onion and cut carrots and zucchini into thin 1 inch long sticks. Remove head and gut of the anchovies and add them to a pot with the water. Boil for 10 minutes to make the broth. If you want to make a vegetarian version you can use kelp instead of anchovies. If using fishcakes, you should add them at this moment, and take them out at the same time that the anchovies, to cut them into 1"long by 1/4" wide pieces.

 

After 10 minutes discard the anchovies/kelp and add the Doek, red pepper paste, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if used). Cook for another 10 minutes at medium heat.  Passed that time add the vegetable, you can play around with them. If you don't love them, just add green onions. You can also add some other vegetable you have at home such cabbage. it is at this moment that you should add the clear noodles and/ or fishcakes. Passed 5 minutes, they are ready. Serve in a deep dish or bowl with the eggs. And Enjoy them as our puppy Lee Seong-gi does, as Sun Woo-hwan, in this scene of Shining Inheritance or as Dok Ko-jin ( Cha Seung-won) does up above for The Greatest Love. By the way I see a pattern, in both scenes our boys wanted to be fed by the leading ladies.  We should take note and put into practice when needed.  

By the way, I'm still not used to blogger and the layout is not coming out as I would like ti. Be patience with me ;)
