Authentic Tteokbokki

The quintessential street food of Seoul. Chewy, cylindrical rice cakes (tteok) are simmered in a thick, vibrant red, sweet-spicy gochujang sauce. As the sauce reduces, it transforms into a glossy, concentrated glaze that perfectly coats the elastic rice cakes and yielding fish cakes.
