Have you guys tried these? It's pretty much my new favorite food. I can't stop going every week to get some.

It's chewy chunks of soft rice bread/cake, usually with some kind of meat, and it's best when it's super spicy. Never had anything like it.

Honestly, I kinda hate rice cake. I would much prefer some daikon kimchi.

The meat is fish cake. There's also a variation called ra-pokki where instant ramen is also thrown in.

I've only had two Korean dishes before. Going to have to branch out and try some more stuff. Shit's good.

And there's also versions where the sauce is a little blacker than red, and versions where instead of being boiled in liquid, it's stir-fried with red pepper powder or paste.

Good stuff, can find it in most populated districts. Also convenient to put handfuls/scoopfuls in cups for use as on-the-go snacks!

Yea, I've had it before. It's delicious.

I recommend bulgogi if you haven't tried it before.

Yes, it's very good street food in Seoul.

And in any other urban Korean area, really. Really popular with school kids, too. Cheap and quick.

How is a crab cake a cake?

In all seriousness, how would you describe a food which is "rice grounded and pounded until it becomes a fine powder, and then is steamed to create a more solid and chewy result"?

 

[5secondrulesucks]

thats not a cake

I like it. But I treat it more as a side dish and wouldn't have it by itself. I much prefer fishcake or kimchi grilled.
