Tteokboki, Ddeokboki, or Dokpoki, (depending on how you want to spell it) is an insanely popular Korean dish that can be found on the streets of Seoul, to in the finest restaurants in Gangnam. Although it is most common to buy Tteokboki from street vendors.

Tteokboki is made from soft rice cake, fish cakes, and drenched in a delicious sweetened chili sauce. The dish is delicious and the fact that you can’t help but see it everywhere, makes it a favorite of ours for snacks. If you see it in the street, give it a try. Tteokboki typically costs $2.50 for a plate so there is no excuse not to try it.
