6 Street Snacks that Make Koreans Hard to Turn Away

Kapanlagi.com - As the days go by, there are more and more Korean dramas or YouTube content from foodies from the Land of Ginseng that showcase street food spots there. Apart from looking exciting, the main attraction of Korean street food is certainly the various snacks offered.

Most of these Korean street snacks are served fried. There are also many that are seasoned with gochujang paste. However, some of these Korean snacks have a special taste that is difficult to make people passing by turn away, making them want to buy and taste it.

Twigim

First, there is twigim which is nothing but various kinds of fried food. The difference with fried food in Indonesia is only in some types. Twigim in Korea can be in the form of sweet potatoes, shrimp, squid, bell peppers, gimmari, or other vegetables that are fried in crispy flour coating. In addition to being dipped in soy sauce, twigim is usually eaten with tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki

It is almost always on the list of Korean snacks sold on the streets, tteokbokki is like a staple food for the people there. This chewy-textured rice cake looks tempting with the sweet and spicy gochujang sauce. When freshly cooked, the aroma is so enticing that anyone passing by will be tempted to try it.

Odeng

Odeng or fishcake is not fried, but boiled with broth. Served on skewers, odeng's deliciousness is very appetizing, especially in the cold night weather.

Gimbap

As a complement to tteokbokki and odeng, people usually also order gimbap at roadside stalls. Gimbap itself is a rolled rice filled with sliced chicken breast, carrots, cucumbers, crab, or according to taste, and wrapped in seaweed sheets. Gimbap is served by cutting it into small pieces.

Sundae

Another savory snack complement in street stalls or streets in Korea is sundae. This food is made from cow or pig intestines filled with noodles, pig blood, barley, scallions, and various other seasonings. Sundae is usually processed in factories, so sellers only need to sell it when it is already cooked. Before being served and cut into pieces, sundae is first steamed.

Bungeoppang

In addition to savory dishes, there are also sweet street foods in Korea, such as bungeoppang. This cake, shaped like a fish, has a fragrant aroma that wafts along the street. In addition to red bean, modern bungeoppang also comes with chocolate and ice cream flavors.
