Ingredients:
- 2 pounds refrigerated or frozen Korean rice cakes (cylindrical shape)
- 5 ounces refrigerated or frozen eeomuk (Korean fried fish cakes, three 6 1/2x4-inch pieces)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium scallions
- 2 cups warm water
- 1/3 cup gochujang
- 3 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean coarse chili flakes)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce, such as Three Crabs
- 4 ounces shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup, optional)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 4 to 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved (optional)
- Arrange a rack in the bottom of the oven and heat the oven to 375ºF. Meanwhile, soak the rice cakes, prepare the remaining ingredients, and make the sauce.
- Place 2 pounds Korean rice cakes in a large bowl and add enough warm water to cover. Let soak for 20 minutes to soften and hydrate.
- If frozen, let 5 ounces eeomuk sit at room temperature to thaw enough to cut. Cut 3 tablespoons unsalted butter into small pieces. Thinly slice 3 medium scallions and reserve for garnish.
- Place 2 cups warm water, 1/3 cup gochujang, 3 tablespoons gochugaru, 3 tablespoons honey, and 3 tablespoons fish sauce in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
- When the rice cakes are ready, drain them. Place in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or 9x13-inch broiler-safe baking dish. Cut the fish cakes into bite-size pieces. Add the fish cakes to the baking dish.
- Pour the sauce over the rice and fish cakes. Stir until evenly coated and arrange into an even layer. Scatter the butter evenly on top.
- Bake until the rice cakes are puffy and the sauce is thickened, about 30 minutes. If you want a crispy top, switch the oven to broil and broil until browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. If using cheese, sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese before broiling.
- Garnish with the scallions and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds. Top with halved hard-boiled eggs if desired.
