What is Tteokbokki?
Tteokbokki is one of Korea’s most iconic street foods. It is made with soft, chewy rice cakes – called tteok – cooked in a bold, savoury sauce.
Traditionally the sauce is spicy, combining gochujang (Korean chilli paste) with fish cake, vegetables, and sometimes egg for a dish that is rich, filling, and deeply satisfying.
Tteokbokki originated as a royal court dish in the Joseon Dynasty before evolving into the street food version that became popular across Korea in the 20th century. Today it is sold at street stalls, school canteens, and restaurants throughout Korea and is considered one of the defining flavours of Korean food culture.
Unlike many Korean dishes, tteokbokki is easily adaptable – the sauce can be made spicier or milder, and ingredients like cheese, cream, or ramen noodles can be added to create new varieties. This flexibility is why tteokbokki has become one of the most popular Korean dishes outside Korea.
How Tteokbokki is Prepared at Mr Lee Korean Food & Drink
At Mr Lee Korean Food & Drink, our tteokbokki starts with Korean rice cakes simmered in a sauce made from gochujang, along with fish cake, spring onion, cabbage, and egg. The sauce is prepared fresh each day and adjusted to achieve the right balance of sweetness, heat, and depth.
The rice cakes are cooked until they are soft on the inside with a slight chew – the texture that defines a well-made tteokbokki. Overcooked rice cakes become mushy; undercooked ones are too firm. Getting this right is one of the most important parts of the preparation.
For our rose tteokbokki, we blend the gochujang sauce with cream to create a milder, smoother flavour that keeps the richness of the original without the full spice level. For our rabokki, Korean ramen noodles are added to the pot, absorbing the sauce and adding a different texture alongside the rice cakes.
Each dish is prepared to order and served hot.

⭐ Featured Dish: Rose Tteokbokki in Da Nang
Rose tteokbokki is a uniquely Korean creation — the result of blending the bold, spicy gochujang sauce of traditional tteokbokki with cream to create a dish that is rich, smooth, and mildly spicy at the same time.
At Mr Lee Korean Food & Drink, our rose tteokbokki has become one of the most ordered dishes on the menu. It offers a different experience from the traditional version — the cream softens the heat while keeping the depth of flavour that makes tteokbokki so satisfying. The rice cakes remain soft and chewy, and the sauce coats every piece fully.
If you are new to Korean food or prefer dishes that are flavourful without being heavily spiced, rose tteokbokki is an excellent introduction. It is also a popular choice among visitors from Vietnam, Japan, and other parts of Southeast Asia who enjoy the richness of the dish without the full spice level of the original.
