Tteokbokki is one of Korea's most iconic street foods, beloved for decades. "Tteok" refers to chewy rice or wheat flour cakes, and "bokki" means stir-fried or simmered. This product features chewy wheat rice cakes (wheat tteok) simmered in a spicy-sweet red sauce made from a gochujang base, along with a sweet black sauce and fried fish cake for added texture and flavour. The taste balance — spicy + sweet + umami — is similar in concept to a tomato pasta sauce where the sauce is the star. Even those unaccustomed to spicy food can enjoy it relatively comfortably thanks to the sweet black sauce.

This is a frozen product. Store immediately in a freezer (below -18°C) upon receipt. Do not refreeze once thawed — cook and consume immediately after thawing.

Gochujang is a traditional Korean naturally fermented seasoning paste made from chili powder, meju (fermented soybeans), glutinous rice, and salt, matured using traditional methods. Much like European cheese or wine, its defining characteristic is the deep, complex flavour (umami) developed through fermentation and ageing. Note that this product itself is a frozen meal kit that uses gochujang as a sauce ingredient and is not classified as a fermented food product in its own right. The spice level is moderate — balanced by the sweetness of the black sauce, making it accessible even for those not used to spicy food. However, as it does contain chili powder, those sensitive to heat are advised to taste a small amount first and adjust accordingly.
