All you need to know about Korean Street Food

Rice cakes that have been soaked and seasoned with chili sauce are used in this dish. Among the top tteokbokki eateries in Seoul are Sindang, a district famous for housing some of the best tteokbokki eateries in Myeongdong Street and Gwangjang Market. Tteokbokki is undeniably the best in Korea.

(Fish cake) Odeng

Every foodie must have Odeng in their repertoire. Skewered fish cake served with broth. Because fish cakes can find everywhere in Seoul, you don’t need to worry about finding them.

(Egg bread) Gyeranppang

Gyerranppang is the Korean word for egg bread. A muffin-like appearance, an egg on top, and an unexplainable odor, whether savory or sweet, make this an easy way to ruin a diet. The best part is you can get it almost everywhere in Korea. It makes a great breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. A trendy street in Seoul, Myeongdong, has many stalls selling egg bread.

The corn dog

The Korean street food corn dog is similar to the usual hotdogs, but it’s coated with batter. However, Korean corn dogs are unique because they come in all shapes and sizes. From a corn dog shaped like an octopus to a french fries-shaped dog, they have it all.

The stuffed pancake (Hotteok)

Hotteok, or stuffed pancake, is a Korean street food name. The sweet Korean pancake has cinnamon, dark brown sugar, and chopped peanuts. In addition to savory fillings, there is kimchi and japchae.

The savory pancake (Pajeon)

Among the world’s best street foods is pajeon, another Korean delicacy. The batter of pajeon differs from ordinary sweet pancakes because it includes wheat flour, rice flour, eggs, and scallions. There are other types of pajeon, such as bindaetteok (mung bean pancake), Haemulon (seafood pancake), soegogi-jeon (beef pancake), gochujeon (green chili pepper pancake), and kimchi-jeon (kimchi pancake).

Yagnyeom tong dak (fried chicken in Korean)

Korean fried chicken, yangnyeom tong dak, is no longer an ethnic cuisine. One thing that makes Korean fried chicken unique is the crispy, paper-thin skin that shatters upon biting into it. Usually, Korean food is served in a cup, but some Korean restaurants serve it also.

Melbourne’s best Korean street food

Korea’s street food ranges from spicy rice cakes to desserts such as buttercream gateaux. Here’s a list of the best Korean restaurants.

Sam Sam

With sweet chili or soy and garlic, Sam Sam’s wings are fried crisp and served chilled. Spicy red peppers with snow cheese or lemon mayonnaise are available here. You can choose between Kirin, Max (Korean) and Furphy, or Asahi from a bottle. Soju-Ritas combine zesty ice granita with a bottle of soju.

The chunky town

You can also try deep-fried cheese skewers at Chunky Town. The Korean version of a hot dog is crunchy and crispy, drizzled with sauces, and adorned with K-pop stamps. You can also try pairing mozzarella with mayo or ketchup. Another option is the Just Cheese Chunky, which does not come with it. Chunky Town is located at QV.

The sulbing

Busan’s dessert café, Sulbing, is famous for its bingsu. To craft snow ice, ice cream, or yogurt, flakes are finely shaved. It is the toppings that make the pizza so delicious. There are many choices; dark chocolate Oreo Monsters, tiramisu cheesecakes, and rockmelon with red bean sticky rice cake. Fans of tteokbokki pizza will drool over the cheese goodness served hot in a skillet.

South Korean Train Station

The Seoul Station at Melbourne Central serves more Korean takeaway hot dogs. These deep-fried sausage pops are coated in crunchy ramen noodles or potatoes. They also do K-hotdog crumb. You could also use potato batter instead of sausage and melt mozzarella on top. Add sugar to get the authentic Korean flavor. Pour two sauces (or less) to finish—cheese, mustard, honey mustard, ketchup, mustard, and honey mustard.

Sinjeon

Sinjeon is the perfect place to start your Korean street-food adventure. It’s the premier place for Seoul’s number one snack, tteokbokki (pronounced ‘doe-bok-kee’). The sweetly spiced rice cakes are packed with heat from the chili—dip fishcakes in the sauce before serving. Add melted cheese on top. Of course, there’s much more on the menu at Sinjeon, including kimbap (Korean sushi), fried chicken, and bibimbap.
