Instructions
-
If using frozen rice cakes, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes and drain.
-
In a shallow pan or wok, combine the anchovy broth (or water), gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer.
-
Add the rice cakes to the sauce mixture and cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat until they begin to soften.
-
Add the sliced fish cakes and continue to cook, stirring occasionally so the sauce thickens.
-
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring well to create a smooth, creamy pink rose sauce. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.

Stir in optional parmesan cheese if desired, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
