Korean Street Food

Just like Japan and Thailand, Korea is known for its amazing selection of street food. Sold in pojangmacha tents (street stall on wheels), dishes such as twigim (Korean-style tempura), gimbap (Korean sushi), mandu (dumplings), yangnyeom tongdak (fried chicken), pajeon (pancakes), myeon (noodle soup), and odeng (fish cakes), occupy the busy streets of South Korea.

One of the most famous Korean street-foods, tteokbokki is fiery, savory and slightly sweet food perfection!

Grabbing a plate of tteokbokki after a few glasses of soju (Korean spirit) with friends is the ultimate late night indulgence in Korea. You can find tteokbokki sold in food stalls across Seoul and the rest of the country, where groups of people gather to enjoy great food with friendly conversations. 

The tteokbokki is a traditional Korean dish that come with a different addition ingredients. The sauce can range from soupy to dry and add some various ingredients like fish cakes (eomuk) and hard boiled eggs. There’s many variations to the sauce and various additions.

It’s actually not very hard to make it at home and you only need a few ingredients to make it.

Tteokbokki is one of those comfort foods that many people love to eat. It’s usually pretty spicy though, but I recommend having a go.
