Appetizers and Sandwiches

Tempura

Vegetables and shrimp dipped in ice-cold batter and fried until shatteringly crisp. The batter must be barely mixed — lumps are good — and the oil held at 170–180°C. Done right, tempura is light enough to eat endlessly.

Tteokbokki (Korean Spicy Rice Cakes) with garaetteok, gochujang and fish cake — Korea recipe

Tteokbokki (Korean Spicy Rice Cakes)

Korea's most iconic street food: thick cylindrical rice cakes (garaetteok) simmered in a fiery, sweet-glossy gochujang sauce until soft and bouncy, with fish cake sheets and boiled eggs absorbing the sauce alongside. The sauce coats every piece in a deep red lacquer. Sold from street carts (pojangmacha) all over Korea, especially around school exits in the afternoon. The modern gochujang version was born in post-Korean War Sindang-dong, Seoul, when vendors replaced expensive royal court ingredients with affordable fermented chilli paste. The sauce must be sweet as well as hot — that balance is what makes it addictive. Best eaten immediately while the rice cakes are at peak chewiness.
