Koreans’ Favorite Snack, Tteokbokki Venues in Jeonju: Modurang and Sangsan Tteokbokki

JEONJU FOOD

 

The most popular street food (also ‘school food’) is tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cakes). The most common tteokbokki is the spicy gochujang (red chilli paste) sauce one. However, there are different variations according to the sauce such as black bean sauce, rosé sauce (cream and tomato sauce), sweet soy sauce, etc. The variations can also be according to the rice cake: wheat, rice, cheese inside, etc. Today, I’ll introduce decades-old tteokbokki venues in Jeonju.

 

Modurang

Modurang is about 30 years old tteokbokki venue near Jeonbuk National University. They serve a stew-style tteokbokki. It’s served over the portable gas stove on the table.

Inside Modurang is wider than it seems from the outside.

I can order extra ingredients for my tteokbokki-stew, such as sausages, brisket slices, mozzarella cheese, sweet potato noodles, ramyun noodles, a boiled egg, and etc. I do recommend ordering some of the extras.

 

I can also add some mozzarella cheese over my fried rice.

Sangsan Tteokbokki

In Korea, tteokbokki is also an ‘after school food’ for students. When I feel nostalgic, I visit Sangsan Tteokbokki, a 25-year-old tteokbokki venue.

Sangsan Tteokbokki started as a small roadside food cart in front of Sangsan High School in Jeonju. Now it has a proper venue near the high school.

As I enter, I see the rice cakes and fish cakes boiling in the beautiful red spicy sauce. The smell is very mouth-watering. The menu is as follows:

 

Tteokbokki 4,500 won

Hot dog (Corn dog) 1,500 won

Tuigim (Deep fried squid/Deep fried glass noodle roll/Both) 4,500 won

Omook (Fish cake) 500 won

I ordered tteokbokki and both deep fried squid and glass noodle roll. The fries go very well with the tteokbokki sauce.

The fries are deep fried again upon order. I love crunchy the sound of slicing the fries.

My tteokbokki and fries are served. The food here is old school, travelling back in time. I loved the chewy and firm texture of the tteokbokki (wheat cakes are more soft). The fries go perfectly well with the tteokbokki broth.

    After arrived to Korea I thought tteokbokki must be very spicy, but the levels are different and nowadays is one of my favorite foods here. I like to taste it in different places because they are always combined with other ingredients typical of each place and it results in a very good culinary experience.

    Hello dear @Jeonjucity.kr 😊😊😊😊
    I like Tteokbokki very much its my preference food in korea It’s super delicious, umami rich and highly addictive! So much so that even if your tummy is full, you will still have some room for these spicy rice cakes! 😉y first taste of Korean food was tteokbokki – thick, chewy soft chubby rods of rice cakes enrobed in a spicy-salty-slightly sweet red pepper sauce.It has all the elements to be liked. The texture, the sauce and the easiness! ❤️

    I am interested in cuisines.
    TTEOKBOKKI location in Jeonju I just made this dish and love it! It took me back to many years I spent in Korea This dish reminded me of my time in Korea and it tasted better than some street tetobokki and it was all possible because of you in this post I have your heart thank you from I added an extra tablespoon of gochujang (I like it hot) and replaced the broth with my beef collagen powder to which I added 2 cups of water. Will definitely make it again and definitely recommend your recipe. And will soon travel to the great city Jeonju with her family. Thank 👍

  • Kasim Abubakr Kasim

    Tetokbokki is my favorite food. I always try to make it at my home but it can’t be made like Korea, even today I remember that day. The Tetokbokki site is about 30 years old when I ate Tetokbokki with my father during my trip to Korea, near Modurang Jeonbuk National University. Which has been introduced by you in this post. Me and my father were very happy that day. Because both of us had eaten such excellent food for the first time in our lives that day till today I remember how wonderful Tetokbokki was.

    I asked my father for a trip to Korea, he has given yes, will travel after these difficult days. I am very happy today because I am getting a chance to see the past again.
