Answer: Tteokbokki
The traditional Korean dish you’re describing is called tteokbokki (떡볶이). It’s a popular street food and comfort food made with chewy rice cakes simmered in a gochujang-based sauce. Gochujang is a Korean chili paste that gives tteokbokki its characteristic sweet and spicy flavor. Vegetables like fish cakes and scallions are also commonly added to the dish.
