1green onionfinely chopped for garnishing
Instructions
In a large bowl, soak the rice cakes in warm water for at least 10 minutes to hydrate them. Strain and set aside.
Heat a large dry pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until partially cooked and slightly chewy, with a bit of pink remaining. Add the green onions and garlic, then sauté for about 20 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, then add gochugaru, gochujang, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Stir until fully combined and the sauce turns a smooth pink color.
Add the fish cakes and rice cakes. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the rice cakes are chewy with a slight firmness, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Top with shredded cheese and let it melt. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
