Tips and tricks
These suggestions will help to guide you in the right direction on this"sticky-icky" Tteokbokki adventure:
Picking the best strain - To compliment the legendary flavors of tteokbokki you’ll need a cannabis strain that’s equipped with peppery or earthy notes, like Black Jack or White Widow.
Infusing the sauce - Adding cannabis to the sauce ensures a reliable consistent dose in every single bite without weighing down the experience with the overpowering you may have experienced with other edibles. For this we recommend using cannabutter or infused oil to complete the infusion, as both are ingredients that allow hints of cannabis taste to meld perfectly with the spices that are in tteokbokki sauce.
Be mindful of dose - Since the strength of cannabis infused products like butter or oil can vary greatly it’s important to remember to adjust the amount you add according to your tolerance and preference. If you’re not sure where to begin, then start low and slowly increase the potency until you find a sweet spot to deliver an ideal experience you’ll thoroughly enjoy every single time.
The power of customization - Tteokbokki is versatile making it easy to adjust and customize to suit your taste. Play with this recipe by adding special ingredients you don’t see listed in the recipe, like fish cakes, hard-boiled eggs, or vegetables to discover entirely new versions you’ll love.
