Tteokbokki too spicy? Adjust the sauce
Reduce the proportion of spicy sauce by adding an unseasoned component. Sugar changes sweetness but does not remove the chili.
What to try
Set some sauce aside, then add a little unsalted broth or water to the pan.
Add more cooked rice cakes if available, keeping enough liquid for the texture.
Next time start with less gochugaru; serve a mild egg dish alongside.
Make a small adjustment, then check the result before changing the whole batch.
