Place rice cakes in cold water whilst preparing the ingredients. Blanch frozen Busan fish cakes in hot water for 30-45 seconds, then drain and cut into smaller triangles. Set aside for later.
Chop up the garlic into small pieces. Cut the onion in larger chunks length-wise and slice the scallions into 2 inch pieces. Score the mini sausages in a criss cross pattern.
Heat up a large pan with a drizzle of sesame oil over medium heat. Cut bacon into thin strips, then add to the hot pan. Cook it for 2-3 minutes or until it starts to brown.
Add in the garlic and onion, mix and cook for 1 minute. Scoop in the gochujang paste, along with 3-4 tablespoons of water. Mix to combine everything together.
Drain rice cakes and add them into the pan. Add in the white parts of the scallions, reserving the leaves for later.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle in the brown sugar, along with gochugaru flakes and soy sauce.
Toss in the fish cakes, then cover and cook for 2 additional minutes.
Turn off the heat, then pour in the heavy cream and mix to combine with the sauce.
Add slices of American cheese on top, the cover and let sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
