Rabokki
Rabokki is a popular Korean street food dish that combines chewy rice cakes (tteok) and instant ramen noodles in a sweet, spicy, and savory gochujang-based sauce. It typically includes fish cakes (eomuk), scallions, and a boiled egg, creating a hearty, one-pot comfort food. The dish is a modern, fusion evolution of the classic tteokbokki, beloved for its satisfying textures and bold flavors.
