Rice Cakes, in Sticks, JONGGA, Korea

The absolute street and trend food from Korea. These rice cakes are somewhere between potato dumplings and potato dumplings, but made entirely of rice. In Korea, they are often cooked in a broth with gochugaru and gochujang, i.e. very spicy chili paste and powder, and are often served with fish cakes and boiled eggs. This dish is known as tteokbokki and can be found on every street corner. But they also make a fantastic addition to other broths and soups. When cooked, you can of course fry them, but they are best suited to sticky sauces.
