Makes 4 – 6 servings
½ cup vegetable stock

1 medium Spanish onion, thinly sliced
½ cup kimchi
1 ¼ pounds rice cakes
¼ cup sliced green onions
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Sea salt
- In a small bowl combine stock, gochujang, honey, soy, Korean chili powder, and garlic, and whisk to mix well. Set aside.
- Heat a wok over high heat. When hot pour in the oil, swirl top coat the wok, then add the onion. Season with a pinch of salt and, keeping the onion moving constantly, cook until softened and translucent (about 4 minutes). Stir in the kimchi and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the rice cakes, making sure to separate them so they don’t stick together, then pour in the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, until thickened.
