Beef with Korean Rice Cakes, Asparagus, Carrots, and Spicy Black Bean Sauce

The tteokbokki or traditional Korean rice cake noodles used in this dish are a thick, elongated noodle that are soft and chewy and go really well with the ground beef.  The sauce is made with some traditional Korean accompaniments which include soy sauce, gochujang paste, black bean sauce, ginger, and garlic.  You could also use ground turkey.  This dish is really quick to put together and packed with flavor.  I added asparagus and carrots for more veggies in the dinner.  Look for the rice cake noodles in an Asian store, or you could use other rice noodles or even fettuccine or rice.  Click here for the recipe….
