Tteokbokki is one of Korea's popular snacks that are loved by teenagers as well as adults. It is made from garaetteok, a chewy long cylindrical rice pasta (or "rice cake") that is cut into many pieces and cooked with various ingredients. It is a stir-fry dish which is cooked with gochujang (red chili pepper paste) along with garaetteok, seasoned beef, fish cakes and assorted vegetables such as green onions, carrots and onions.
A spicy version of tteokbokki is very popular but less spicy ones can be also requested to meet everyone's taste buds.
