tteokbokki - rice cake stew

Tteokbokki - Rice cake stew.

You might think it's yucky to hear 'cake stew', but a rice cake is not a real cake. It's a small gummy stick made of sticky rice.

Rice cake(tteok) itself is white, and so is the noodle(ramyeon). It is the soup which make the whole red. You also see dumplings, eggs, cabbages and onion.

It tastes sweet and hot. Koreans generally like hot and spicy food.

Usually teenagers (especially girls) like this, and one of the reason is that it's cheap.
