Topokki / Tteokbokki

What is Topokki? 

Whether you know it as tteokbokki, topokki, ddukbokki or even just Korean stir-fried rice cakes, this common snack is made up of cylindrical rice cakes covered in a sauce. The sauce is usually a gochujang chilli sauce – another example of the taste for spicy food in Korea – although nowadays, there are many other intriguing topokki flavours to try. 

What Does Tteokbokki Taste Like? 

Most tteokbokki you’ll come across will have a sweet and spicy flavour profile, resulting in a deliciously rich and moreish dish. The texture is relatively unique, offering soft, chewy bites.

Topokki is often enjoyed just with the sauce as an easy, comforting snack, but many people also customise the dish with additions of boiled eggs, spring onions, fish cakes and even cheese.
