Sawongwon Danhobak Twigim (Kabocha Squash Fritters) 350g (Frozen)

Authentic Korean Street Snack · Twigim

Danhobak Twigim is a beloved Korean street snack (bunsik) made from thinly sliced kabocha squash (winter squash) coated in a light, crispy Korean-style batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. In Korea, it is commonly enjoyed alongside Tteokbokki, packed into a Dosirak (lunchbox), or served as Anju (snack with drinks) paired with Makgeolli on a rainy day. The natural sweetness of kabocha squash balanced with a satisfying crispy texture makes this a vegetarian-friendly favourite — and it can be ready in just 4–5 minutes in a home air fryer.

How to Enjoy Korean Style · Korean Serving Ideas

The most popular ways to enjoy Danhobak Twigim in Korean homes and bunsik restaurants — experience the authentic flavours of Korea.

Tteokbokki Side

떡볶이 곁들이

In Korean bunsik restaurants, Danhobak Twigim is almost always served alongside Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes in Gochujang sauce). Dipping the fritter into the spicy Tteokbokki sauce creates a perfect contrast between heat and the natural sweetness of kabocha — the very essence of Korean street food.

Rabokki

라볶이 토핑

Try adding Danhobak Twigim as a topping to Rabokki — a popular Korean spicy noodle dish combining Ramyeon and Tteokbokki. This combination is one of the most beloved "set menu" pairings found in Korean bunsik restaurants.

Dosirak

도시락 반찬

Danhobak Twigim is a staple side dish (banchan) in a Korean Dosirak (lunchbox). Pack it alongside rice, Kimchi, and rolled omelette to make lunchtime something to look forward to. Cook in the air fryer, let it cool, then place in the lunchbox to keep the texture crispy.

Anju

막걸리 안주

In Korea, there is a long-standing tradition of enjoying pajeon (savoury pancakes) and twigim (fritters) with Makgeolli (a traditional Korean rice wine) on rainy days. Danhobak Twigim pairs beautifully with the gentle acidity of Makgeolli, making it a classic Anju (drinking snack) choice.

Ganjang Dip

간장 디핑소스

The most common way to enjoy it in Korean households — mix soy sauce (ganjang) with a splash of vinegar, finely chopped green chilli, and diced onion to make a simple dipping sauce. The salty, tangy sauce brings out the natural sweetness of the kabocha even further.

Bibimbap Topping

비빔밥 토핑

Try placing Danhobak Twigim on top of Bibimbap — Korea's iconic mixed rice bowl with seasoned vegetables and Gochujang. The mild, earthy flavours of the other vegetable toppings are complemented by the sweet crunch of the kabocha fritter, creating a new and exciting textural balance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Sawongwon Danhobak Twigim? Is kabocha squash different from European pumpkin?

Kabocha squash (danhobak) is an East Asian variety of winter squash widely used in Korea and Japan. It is considerably sweeter than European butternut squash or common pumpkin, with a rich, chestnut-like nuttiness. The flesh is a deep orange colour with a naturally intense sweetness. This product features thinly sliced Korean kabocha squash coated in a crispy batter and frozen for convenience — it can be easily prepared in a microwave, oven, air fryer, or by deep frying. In Korea, it is a popular everyday food enjoyed as a snack, side dish (banchan), or Dosirak (lunchbox) item.

Does this product contain any allergens?

This product contains gluten (wheat). Anyone with a wheat allergy or coeliac disease should avoid consuming this product. Information regarding the remaining 13 EU mandatory allergens (dairy, eggs, nuts, crustaceans, etc.) is currently being verified. If you have a specific allergy, we strongly recommend contacting the manufacturer (Sawongwon) or the dotAsia customer service team before purchasing to obtain the official allergen declaration.

Is this product suitable for vegans or vegetarians?

The vegan and vegetarian suitability of this product has not yet been officially confirmed. As the full ingredient list has not been completely verified, we are unable to rule out the presence of animal-derived ingredients. If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, please contact the dotAsia customer service team before purchasing to obtain the official ingredient information from the manufacturer.

What is the best way to cook frozen Danhobak Twigim at home?

For the crispiest result, we recommend using an air fryer (180°C, 10–12 minutes) or an oven (200°C, 15 minutes). If deep frying, cook in oil at 170°C for 3–4 minutes for a golden, crispy exterior with a tender interior. Microwave cooking is possible but may reduce the crispiness of the batter. Always cook from frozen — thawing before cooking can cause moisture to form, making the batter soggy. Serve with a soy sauce dipping sauce or Gochujang sauce for an even more authentic experience.

What are the calories and nutritional details? Is this product halal certified?

The currently confirmed energy value is approximately 174 kcal per 100g. The full nutrition declaration — including fat, carbohydrate, protein, and salt — is currently being verified and will be updated on the product page as soon as a complete EU-compliant nutrition label (per Regulation 1169/2011) is available. Regarding halal certification: this product does not hold an official halal certification. Customers following a halal diet should take note of this before purchasing.
