Tteokbokki Gnocchi
Inspired by the popular Korean street food, Tteokbokki is known for its chewy rice cakes in a spicy, savoury sauce. In this twist, we’ve swapped rice cakes for crispy gnocchi for a lovely, satisfying bite. It’s got perfectly crispy gnocchi, tender veggies, and a rich, creamy sauce with a little spicy kick. What’s more, it’s super easy to make and really versatile.
