Tteokbokki (English: TUK-bok-ee, TUK-boh-kee; Korean: 떡볶이, pronounced [t͈ʌk̚p͈ok͈i]), topokki or simmered rice cake, is a Korean food made from small-sized garae-tteok (long, white, cylinder-shaped rice cakes) called tteokmyeon (떡면; lit. 'rice cake noodles') or commonly tteokbokki-tteok (떡볶이 떡; lit. 'tteokbokki rice cakes'). Eomuk (fish cakes), boiled eggs, and scallions are some common ingredients paired with tteokbokki in dishes. It can be seasoned with either spicy gochujang (chili paste) or non-spicy ganjang-based (soy) sauce; the former is the more common form, while the latter is less common and sometimes called gungjung-tteokbokki (royal court tteokbokki). Today, variations also include curry-tteokbokki, cream sauce-tteokbokki, jajang-tteokbokki, seafood-tteokbokki, rose-tteokbokki, galbi-tteokbokki and so on. Tteokbokki is commonly purchased and eaten at bunsikjip (snack bars) as well as pojangmacha (street stalls). There are also dedicated restaurants for tteokbokki, referred to as jeukseok tteokbokki (impromptu tteokbokki). It is also a popular home dish, as the garae-tteok can be purchased in pre-packaged, semi-dehydrated form.
