when ddeokbokgi just isn't enough

Rabokgi! Yes, ladies: ramyeon plus ddeokbokgi!

  1. It's a pretty common el-cheapo fast food in Korea. I'm using the wrong ddeok, though: for proper ddeokbokgi, you're supposed to use the cigar-shaped rice cakes. I always joke that they look like human fingers when they bloat up from the cooking process.

    I'm also using the wrong fish cakes: the ones normally found in ddeokbokgi start off as large, flat sheets-- about the size of copier paper or a little smaller-- that get cut into strips and triangles. A good example of those fish cakes can be seen here.

  3. Hahna,

    I was wondering what would happen if I took the rabokgi in a Cajun direction-- garlicky shrimp and some sort of gochujang-friendly sausage (I don't think andouille would go well with ddeokbokgi sauce) instead of fish cake.

    Thoughts?
