호떡 (Hotteok)

Hotteok is deep-fried pancakes with brown sugar and cinnamon filling; 

some vendors fills with nuts inside for crunchiness. 

This sweet and savory snack draws people in with the smell 

and always a good way to forget about the cold.

붕어빵 (Bungeoppang)

Recently ‘영국남자’ (Korean Englishman) have introduced 

Bungeoppang to his friends and relatives; 

when asked what they think its inside, 

few answered that there’d be some kind of fish filling inside.

Many tourists many think that its fish filling because 

of the shape but what’s really inside is sweet-red bean paste; 

most black iron mold is shaped in ‘bungeo’ (carp) and 

that’s where the name comes from 😉. 

Now days, it comes in various sizes and filling other than red beans 

like custard, chocolate, pizza topping, etc. but 

sweet-red bean paste are most traditional.

호빵/찐빵 (Hoppang/Jjinbang)

Pre-cooked buns are typical Korean winter snacks; 

where you can see a big steam coming out of a store, 

that’s how they usually cook it. 

Again, red bean pastes are traditional filling 

but there’s meat; cheese; vegetables; etc. available.

꼬치 어묵/오뎅 (Kkochi eomuk/odeng)

A classic winter snack that Koreans loves to eat is eomuk/odeng (fish cake); 

it’s prepared on skewers then boiled in 

radish, crab, kelp (may vary) broth for its flavor. 

It quickly warms up your body and can be found easily around Korea 

and especially at Pojang Macha (snack cart) which sells ttoekbokki 

and it’s the best combination together.

군고구마 (Baked Sweet Potatoes)

If you go around and find big oil tanks/barrels; don’t worry, 

it’s filled with sweet potatoes wrapped in tinfoil or 

newspaper being baked. Korean’s like this as food on the go 

to warm up and sometimes eat it as a meal due to its high nutrition.
