Sure, you can get Korean BBQ in any Koreatown, USA. But these local snacks are best enjoyed on the streets of Korea, made fresh for you by an ajumma who’s been in the fried food game for years.

Spicy Rice Cakes/ Ddeokbokki (떡볶이)
The sauce, which is a sweet and spicy combination of gochujang (Korean chili paste), dried chili powder, and sugar stewed in dried anchovy and sea kelp broth, goes with everything: Fried calamari, shrimp, dumplings, and kimbap. For advanced ddeokbokki eating, try adding ramen noodles, mozzarella cheese and a hard-boiled egg.
Fish Cakes/ Odeng/Uhmook (오뎅/어묵)
These skewers paired with the steaming hot odeng broth will warm you up right to the core. They're great for a quick bite when you're starving, as odeng is cheap and filling. Just walk right up to the cart and eat first, pay later, since you'll probably want seconds or thirds.
Fried Rice Cake Skewers/ Ddeokggochi (떡꼬치)
A sweeter, less spicy variation of the ddeokbokki, ddeok-ggochi is stacks on stacks on stacks of glutinous rice cakes fried in piping hot oil, then slathered with a mixture of gochujang and ketchup. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Wash it all down with a refreshing sip of the hot odeng broth.
