Sodduk Sodduk (Korean Rice Cake & Sausage Skewers) with Gochujang Aioli

One of my favorite Korean street food snacks, sodduk sodduk 소떡소떡. These rice cake and sausage skewers are spicy, chewy, savory, and slightly creamy from the gochujang aioli— basically everything I’d want in a snack!

These are so simple to make, but sometimes the simplest things taste the best, am I right?

What you’ll need to make this at home:

• Gochujang Paste
• Seasoned Rice Vinegar
• Kewpie Mayo
• Ketchup
• Honey
• Garlic
• Soy Sauce
• Gochugaru
• Water
• Mini Sausages (Lil’ Smokies)
• Rice Cakes
• Wooden Skewers (I used 7-inch long skewers)
• Cooking Oil

Optional Garnish:

• Dried Parsley
• Toasted Sesame Seeds

Other Variations:

You can easily substitute the mini sausages for tofu, cheese, chicken/turkey sausage, or just do all rice cakes. Spicy rice cake skewers are also a common Korean street food called ‘Dduk Kochi’ (떡꼬치).
