With chewy rice cakes, halal gochujang, and a rich spicy-sweet sauce, this easy recipe brings authentic Korean flavors straight to your kitchen.

Tteokbokki (떡볶이) is a classic Korean street food dish made with chewy rice cakes cooked in a rich, spicy sauce. Known for its bold flavors and comforting texture, it's a popular snack enjoyed across Korea and beyond. It’s also featured in a lot of K-dramas. Traditionally, tteokbokki is made with gochujang (Korean red pepper paste), fish cakes, and various seasonings.
While delicious, traditional tteokbokki may contain non-halal ingredients like alcohol-based flavor enhancers or fish cakes that aren’t certified halal. Fortunately, this Halal Tteokbokki Recipe offers a delicious alternative without compromising authenticity or flavor.
Many Korean street food vendors and restaurants use:
✅ Gochujang containing alcohol as a preservative
✅ Fish cakes made with non-halal gelatin or meat extract
✅ Soy sauce with alcohol-based brewing processes
Because of these challenges, it can be tricky to find halal-friendly tteokbokki — but this recipe solves that!
