Cheese Tteokbokki – A Korean Specialty

Tteokbokki (Tokbokki) is a traditional Korean rice savory cake, which is also a popular fast food usually sold at Pojangmacha stalls. It was originated from the Tteok Jjim (a royal dish made from sliced thick buns, meat, eggs, and spices and grilled).

Tteokbokki is made from rice cakes with fried Garaetteok and many other ingredients such as beef, bean sprouts, onions, mushrooms, carrots, fish rolls, and spicy chili sauce (called Gochujang). So Tokbokki is often very spicy, which remains tastier when it is still hot. It is thus a perfect match for the cold weather of Korea.

After mixing the rice flours with water and Korean  traditional spices, the chef molds them into long dough bars, then cuts or slices thinly. Just simple as that, these small pieces of rice cakes has become a famous street food favored by many people, especially the young.

This type is made from non-spicy rice cakes with lighter colors, often known as Royal stir-fried rice cakes.

Today, spicy Tteokbokki is enjoyed and popularized by millions of people. First made in the 1950s by a street food woman (she combined Gochujang chili with traditional Tokbokki) to create a new flavor, since then people just loved the idea.
