Tteokbokki, Korean rice cakes with fish cakes in spicy pepper sauce, is known to be a quick take-out snacks which you can buy from street stalls in Korea. Have you tried eating Tteokbokki from a big pan like that? It is delicious and you have to try this!
Years ago dated as far back as Joseon Dynasty, Tteokbokki was a royal court cuisine instead of a daily dish. Soy sauce was used instead of gochujang and main ingredients included kelp, dried mushrooms, onions, vegetables and meat. It was a stir-fry savoury dish then.
The modern tteokbokki dish is a popular dish which can be taken as a full-meal instead of having it as a snack. There is even a tteokbokki street at Sindang-dong area with several restaurants serving this dish side by side. These are just a few of the restaurants.
The full-meal tteokbokki is cooked in a pan with rice cakes, ramyeon and sweet potato noodles piled beneath the other ingredients including fish cakes, eggs, quail eggs, fried fritters (in seafood or vegetables), mandu (dumplings), sausages and onion.
Since those served in the restaurants are more elaborate and sumptuous, the price is also slightly highly, approximate 5,000 to 7,000 per pax depending on the number of persons sharing a pot. Serving portion for 2 persons could costs approximately 12,000 won. Additional ingredients can be requested and the price will be charged accordingly.
Getting to Tteokbokki Town: Take the subway to either Sindang station (Line 2 and 6, Exit 6 or 7) or Cheonggu Station (Line 5 and 6, Exit 1 or 2). Walk along Dasan-ro until you see the big Tteokbokki Town arch signage.
